I found this recipe by Rachael Ray on the food network. To spiff it up, I also made little mini bread bowls from rye bread. I'll give you the soup recipe first, then the directions for the bread bowls.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin
olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
Coarse salt
1 cup sour cream
6 blades fresh chives, cut into
1-inch pieces
Directions
Preheat medium pot over medium
high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and
carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and
about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots
are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food
processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and
carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work
to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and
place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to
2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in
a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very
small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and
squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim.
Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a
spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at
the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!
Then, for the bread bowls:
Using a rolling pin, roll out each slice of bread as flat and thin as you can get it. Round the edges slightly. Tuck into muffin pan, pressing the bread against the edges of the tin. Spray with olive oil spray or give a light coat with a brush. Sprinkle on oregano and parsley. Bake at 350 until the bread is dry (about 10 min.).
