Chipotle Carrot Soup with Red Apple Balsamic

Sweet Apple Balsamic, Spicy Chipotle Olive Oil and crisp bacon make this soup a real treat!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 medium onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 in rounds
  • 1 Tbsp Chipotle Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 3/4 cup water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh, thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 Tbsp créme fraîche
  • A few thin slices of red chili
  • 1 small red apple, julienned
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Lay bacon on a sheet tray and baking rack. Using a pastry brush, brush Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar on both sides. Bake for 20 minutes, basting with more balsamic every 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
