A velvety roasted carrot soup with warm spices, perfect for autumn comfort and packed with flavor and nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
  • 45 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a sheet pan, toss the carrots, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly.
  3. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. In a large pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the roasted vegetables, cumin, and coriander.
  5. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer it to a countertop blender in batches and blend carefully.
  7. If you’re adding cream, stir it in now and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil or cream.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk instead of cream. Adjust the seasoning to taste and add a splash of broth or water if the soup is too thick.
