This Roasted Carrot Soup is a cozy, comforting dish made by roasting fresh carrots to bring out their natural sweetness, then blending them with savory broth to create a smooth, flavorful soup perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 6 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Liquids & Broth

  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Seasonings (optional)

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for roasting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Carrots for Roasting: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the carrots into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform roasting. Toss them in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper for extra flavor.
  2. Roast the Carrots: Spread the carrots out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring once halfway through.
  3. Sauté Onions (Optional): While the carrots roast, you can sauté the chopped onions in a little olive oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant for extra depth, or keep them raw for a fresher taste.
  4. Blend Soup: Transfer the roasted carrots and sautéed onions into a blender, pour in the broth, and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches depending on your blender size.
  5. Heat and Season: Pour the blended soup into a pot and warm over medium heat until heated through. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as desired.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnishing with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Roasting the carrots enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the soup.
  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or coconut milk before blending.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth to keep the recipe vegetarian.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Add spices like ginger or cumin during blending for additional flavor variations.
