Carrot Souffle

1 lb. carrots - Try to get California carrots if possible. They are better!
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 T. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla

Cook carrots until very soft. (Pressure cooker is great for this! It doesn't take nearly as long and flavor is retained.) Drain & place cooked carrots in food processor and blend until mushy. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Pour into greased baking dish and bake at 350 for about 1 hr. or until done in center. Knife will come out clean when inserted in the middle.

Note: You can decrease the amount of sugar if you wish. Add it slowly and taste as you add it. The less sugar you add, the more carrot flavor comes through.

You can increase proportionally for more servings. I have even increased it 5 times and it does fine.

You can prepare ahead of time and freeze in baking dish. Thaw out thoroughly and bake when ready.

Granny Lemon¹s Hint ! Place the filled baking dish in a pan with 1² - 2² of water (water bath) to bake. It will prevent sticking to sides of baking dish. Also, if you place 1 tsp. of cream of tartar in the water, it will prevent the pan, if it¹s aluminum, from darkening or staining.

Spicy Carrot Soup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large sweet onion, finely chopped

2 large shallots, finely chopped

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1 quart (4 cups) chicken stock

1 tablespoon finely grated ginger

1 teaspoon red Thai chili paste,* plus more to taste

Salt & freshly ground pepper

1 bunch scallions, sliced, for garnish

*Chili paste is found in the Asian food section of most large supermarkets. I prefer the Thai brand, in a small glass jar.

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and shallots, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and begin to brown, or caramelize at the edges, about 10 minutes. Add the carrots and cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, or until the carrots begin to give off their aroma and juices. (Note: this is called sweating the carrots.) Uncover and add enough stock to completely cover the carrots. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until carrots are tender when pierced with a small, sharp knife. Add ginger and one teaspoon chili paste, and stir to combine. Remove the soup from the heat until it is cool enough to work with, about 15 minutes.

Ladle equal parts liquid and carrots into a blender or food processor until the appliance is only half-full (too much hot steam may force the lid off the blender). Carefully puree until very smooth and return to another soup pot. Process the rest of the soup in batches. If needed, thin the soup with more stock. (Note: The soup may be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for an afternoon or up to 2 days.) Re-warm the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warm bowls with chopped scallions on top.
