Ingredients​

  • 1 pound of baby carrots
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 Cups of Vegetable Stock (or water)
  • Optional spices to taste (I used curry powder, cumin, garlic powder)

Equipment​

  • Medium size pot with a lid
  • Blender

Step-by-Step Instructions​

Phase 1: Roast the carrots​

This is the magic step! pre-roasting the carrots helps to soften and develop a rich flavor profile.

  1. Preheat your over to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the baby carrots with the olive oil and salt to coat.
  3. Spread the mixture into a single layer and roast for about 35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender to touch with a fork

Phase 2: heating the soup​

  1. In a medium pot on medium-high heat bring the stock and spices to boil
  2. Add the roasted carrots and bring to a boil
  3. Cover and continue to simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
  4. IMPORTANT Set aside to cool for a few minutes
danger

Set aside to cool for a few minutes, it may help to place the pot in a large vessel containing ice water to speed the process. If you try to blend hot liquids your blender may explode. This is not safe and messy!

  1. Pour the soup into your blender, ensuring that you do not exceed the maximum capacity.
    You may need to do this in batches if your total soup is more than your blender can hold.

  2. Puree the soup on high until well blended.

  3. Add the butter and continue to puree until well blended.

  4. Serve directly into a bowl.

  5. Enjoy! you can also spice up the presentation with a swirl of sour cream, or some fresh herbs!
