Carrot Soup

Motivation
I made this soup to play around with caramelizing carrots in my pressure cooker.  THIS IS AN AMAZING SOUP.  Seriously if you have the means (pressure cooker and juicer) you should give it a try.  Original recipe found here.  It took us about 5 lbs of carrots to make the carrot juice and diced carrots.

Ingredients
500 g Carrots (quartered and cut into 2 inch strips)
113 g Butter
30 g Water
5 g Salt
2.5 Baking Soda

635 g Carrot Juice
40g Butter

Mise en Place
Peel and juice carrots until you have 635 g of juice.
Peel. quarter and cut remaining carrots into 2 inch strips until you have 500 g of carrots.

Method
Melt 113 g butter in open pressure cooker.  Add water, salt, and  baking soda and mix.  Add diced carrots. Seal pressure cooker.  When pressure cooker reaches pressure cook for 20 minutes.

Depressurize cooker by running water of the lid.  Puree cooked carrots.

Bring carrot juice to a simmer and add to carrot puree.  Puree again.  Taste and season.
