Ingredients

  • 200 g Cherry, fresh

  • 3 spoons Butter, unsalted

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 250 g Carrot, fresh

  • 1.25 l Soup base, chicken, cube

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 pinch Spices, nutmeg, ground

  • 125 g Sour cream

Steps

  1. Thoroughly wash the watercress, cut off the leaves and set them aside, then roughly chop the stems. Peel the onion, scrub the carrot, and then wash them well. Finely chop the onion and roughly chop the carrot.

  2. Place a large pot on the stove and melt the butter over moderate heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes, then add the carrot and mix well. Add the watercress stems and vegetable stock, then bring the soup to a boil.

  3. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Add the watercress leaves and remove the soup from the heat. Use an electric blender to puree the contents into a thick soup.

  4. Return the soup to the stove, heat it up, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour it into warmed bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
