Slow Cooker Carrot Leek Bisque

This Slow Cooker Carrot Leek Bisque feels fancy but is so easy to prepare. This luscious carrot soup is a creamy blend of savory puréed carrots, caramelized leeks, and nutty millet. They are cooked low and slow with chicken stock and get a flavor boost from mustard seeds, black pepper, lemon juice and zest. A dash of whole milk adds to the creamy texture. The recipe yields 12 servings, so it’s a perfect first course for a family gathering.

This delicious soup has a velvety and creamy texture that is so satisfying. Millet is an easy and healthy thickener for this bisque. When the millet is blended into the creamy carrot bisque, it creates a velvety texture and just the right amount of thickening without being gloppy. Once cooked, this soup will need to be blended. Transfer one-third of the soup to a blender, making sure the lid is on tightly. Remove the stopper from the blender lid, allowing the steam to escape, and cover the opening with a kitchen towel. Blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer to a soup tureen. Repeat with the remaining soup. To serve, ladle the bisque among bowls and sprinkle with fresh chives.
