This soup is not only a treat for your taste buds but also a nutritional powerhouse. Carrots are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, making this soup a wholesome choice for a chilly day.
Ingredients
– 1 pound (450 grams) of carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
– 1 onion, chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for added creaminess)
– Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Steps
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large baking tray, toss the chopped carrots, onion, and minced garlic with olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until they become tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once or twice during the cooking process to ensure even roasting.
4. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly.
5. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. If you have an immersion blender, you can also blend the soup directly in the pot.
6. Add about half of the vegetable broth to the blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in batches if your blender is not large enough.
7. Pour the blended mixture into a large pot. Add the remaining vegetable broth and stir to combine. If you desire a creamier soup, add the heavy cream at this stage.
8. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the soup to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
10. Serve your roasted carrot soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade roasted carrot soup! You can also customize it by adding toppings like croutons, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of sour cream, according to your preferences.
