Ingredients
Makes 8 cups
4 large organic carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1 lb)
2 cups organic seedless grapes, stemmed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups organic low sodium chicken broth
3/4 cups organic reduced fat sour cream
Directions
Cook the carrots in the chicken broth with the cinnamon and cayenne until tender, about 20 minutes. Add 1 cup of grapes, saving the rest of the grapes for garnish, and cook for another minute.
Carefully transfer broth, carrots and grapes in batches to a blender and purée until smooth and creamy. Only fill blender partially and put a kitchen towel over the blender cover before starting. For safety reasons, make sure to not overfill the blender as hot liquids have a tendency to “explode” when agitated by the blades.
Add 1/2 cup of the sour cream to the purée and incorporate until evenly distributed. Save the remaining 1/4 cup to use as topping.
Cut up the remaining grapes and arrange over a dollop of sour cream on each bowl.
