Heat a large pot on low heat. For reference, my stove's dial goes from Low, 1, 2...-...10. When making this soup I put it on 3½.Chop the onion (size and shape don't matter) and peel the garlic.
Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. When the carrot gets too thick, slice them in half lengthwise and slice into half-moons.
Add the butter to the pot. When the butter coats the surface, add the onions and garlic in an even layer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Add the carrots and broth to the pot. Cover with a lid. Turn the heat to high to bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes or until carrots break apart with a fork.
Carefully transfer soup contents into a blender. Add the salt and pepper. Cover and blend, starting on low speed, and increase slowly until the highest speed is reached. Blend until smooth and creamy; no more than 3 minutes. Ready to serve!
