Carrot Pottage with Tarragon

When simplicity truly makes a vegetable shine! This Carrot Pottage with Tarragon is a delicious addition to your seasonal menu. I use specialty carrots, those colorful bunches you find at the market. They give you a beautiful, deep hue and a flavor that’s clean and fresh. And the delicate flavor of tarragon, added at the very end, brings out the earthy carrot flavor beautifully. I’m sure you’ll love this as much as I do!

Potage aux carottes et à l’estragon

La simplicité est au rendez-vous dans ce potage aux carottes si simple, mais si goûteux. Pour cette superbe ajout à mon menu de saison, je tente d’utiliser des carottes fraîches du marché ou des superbes carottes multicolores. Ces dernières donnent une teinte profonde au potage et une saveur fraîche et saisonnière. L’ajout de l’estragon, à la toute fin, rehausse superbement la saveur généreuse des carottes. Je suis certaine que vous aimerez!
