1 12 lbs carrots, cleaned and cut into chunks
3 ½ cups chicken stock (broth)
1 large onion, cut into chunks
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons thyme leaves, stripped off stalks or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ cup cannellini beans, canned, drained
1 cup fresh cream
salt
¼ cup very finely chopped parsley
½ cup sour cream or ½ cup creme fraiche, as a topping

1
In a large pot combine the carrots, stock, onion, sugar, cider vinegar, thyme, lemon rind and cumin, and bring to a boil.
2
Reduce heat until soup simmers.
3
Cover and simmer until carrots are tender -- about 15 minutes, but test with a long-handled fork.
4
In a blender or processor, puree the soup in batches, adding some beans with each batch.
5
Pour the puree into a large bowl as you work.
6
Puree the soup until very smooth.
7
Then pour the soup back into the pot, heat up, and add the cream, stirring.
8
Stir over low heat until heated through.
9
Add the finely chopped parsley, stir in, and taste: it will need more salt as modern stock granules (if used) are not very salty.
10
Serve in warmed soup bowls or mugs, and add a dollop of sour cream to each serving.
