Yield: 6 Servings

      1 lb Carrots; sliced
      2 ts Vegetable oil
      2 ts Garlic; crushed
      1 c  Chopped onion

3 1/2 c Chicken stock
3/4 c 2% low-fat milk

      2 tb Fresh dill weed; or 1 tsp.
           -- dried
      2 tb Chopped fresh chives; or
           -- green onions

In a large saucepan of boiling water, cook carrots just until they're tender. Drain and return carrots to saucepan. Set aside.

In a non-stick skillet, heat oil. Saute garlic & onion until softened, approximately 5 minutes. Add to carrots, along with stock. Cover saucepan and simmer 25 minutes.

Puree in food processor until smooth, in batches if necessary. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir in milk, dill & chives.

Serves 4 - 6.

Make this soup and refrigerate up to 1 day ahead of serving, and reheat gently if serving warm.

Serving Ideas : Serve hot or cold, garnished with a dollop of yogurt.

NOTES : from Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking, MacMillan, Toronto, 1993 ISBN 0-7715-9000-8 To save tears, instead of chopping onion, can use 4 tablespoons dried onions, rehydrated in boiling water and then drained. This should work with Lacteeze or other lactose-reduced milk.
