Why It's Yummy

There is nothing better than enjoying a good old bowl of warming vegetable puree soup. And if it has added spices like ginger and turmeric then it’s even better.
  • Turmeric, cumin, and ginger have a wide range of nutrients and anti-inflammatory benefits. Add those spices not only to soups but other dishes like stews, salads to maintain a healthy gut. Don't forget a squeeze of lime juice before serving for good digestion and elimination of toxins.

  • Turmeric - boost your immune system with this powerful spice which is so essential during the cold times of year. Use organic and fresh turmeric root to get the most of this spice.

    Place the chopped carrot, potatoes, and onion in a large bowl.

    Toss the veggies in spices mix until fully covered.

    Arrange the spiced vegetables on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake for 30 minutes until fork tender turning twice to avoid over burning.

    In the same large bowl, add the vegetables, ½ cup of vegetable broth, and mash the veggies with an immersion blender until smooth.

    Use a standalone high-power Blender for a very silky smooth soup.

    Place a large pot (or heavy bottom dutch oven) on the stove over low heat.

    Add the mashed vegetables, remaining broth, and simmer stirring until creamy.

    Follow with the cream last, simmer for a couple of minutes on low heat and serve with parsley, grated parmesan, black pepper, and more cream on top.

    Tips


    • For ultra-creamy carrot soup use a high-speed blender instead of an immersion blender. It will provide silky-smooth results, just add some birth or cream for easier blending.


    • Vegan Carrot Soup - make it vegan or not, but this recipe is easy to follow as a base for ingredient quantities. For nonvegans serve the soup with fried chorizo or crispy bacon bits. Make it dairy-free by using plant-based heavy creams such as soy cream, coconut milk, cashew cream or another thick nut-based cooking cream.


    Serving Suggestions


    What goes well with carrot soup? We like to serve carrot soup or any creamy vegetable soup with a good portion of lettuce salad such as Lemon Kale Caesar Salad with or without the chicken.

    For kids I'd recommend making a side portion of these yummy healthy zucchini fritters.

    Garnishes such as croutons, parmesan, fresh herbs, nuts and seeds are an essential component of any creamy-based vegetable soup.

    A crusty bread or gluten-free crackers, cornbread muffins are one of my favorites too.


    Freezing And Storing Instructions


    Store the soup in a glass airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.

    After refrigerating, the soup will thicken even more. Add some vegetable broth or warm water to thin it out when reheating.

    I don't recommend freezing the soup as it may separate after thawing and the texture will not be the same as freshly made.


    FAQ


    Do you need to peel carrots for soup?

    For a creamier texture I recommend peeling the carrots and potatoes. You can ofcourse only scrub them to remove the excess dirt. But In my opinion, peeling the carrots will give the best flavor and smooth creamy soup in the end.


    How do you Drizzle cream in soup?

    Place the cream in a smaller squeeze bottle or a sealable plastic bag, making a small cut in one of the bottom corners. Once the creamy soup is poured into serving bowls, slowly drizzle the cream right before serving.


    Is carrot soup good for health?

    Carrot soup is healthy as it provides the daily nutrients, fiber and is quite fulfilling. Spices and herbs such as coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, garlic, thyme and rosemary will make the soup healthier, make it easier to digest and add some healing properties for your gut. Use organic spices and seasonings whenever possible.
