Servings: persons

4 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, sliced
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-in.-thick rounds
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup long-grain rice (any variety)
2 to 3 tsp. coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 cup fresh dill, chopped
1 cup fresh tarragon, chopped

1
Melt butter in a large pot (at least 5 qts.) over medium-high heat, then add onions. Cook until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, carrots, bay leaf, rice, 2 tsp. salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
2
Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes.
3
Remove bay leaf and puree soup in batches in a blender. Return soup to pot and set over low heat. Add whipping cream and 2 cups water (if soup looks too thick, add a little more water) and cook until warmed through. Season to taste with additional salt.
4
Serve soup hot, with creme fraiche or sour cream, dill, and tarragon.
