Creamy Roasted Carrot Soup

Roasted Carrot Soup

Get cosy with this creamy roasted carrot soup. The past few days have been a tad chilly so in light of surviving the rainy season it’s time to make use of that oven. Seasonal veg when roasted with salt pepper, oil and herbs create a great base for any sauce or soup. You can pop them in the oven while you get on with another task or catch up on your favourite tv show.

Recipe
  • 1kg carrots (About 15)
  • 2 Red onions
  • 4 garlic cloves (smashed with skin on)
  • 1tsp Cumin
  • Fresh Thyme (About 2 Stems)
  • 3 Ripe Tomatoes
  • 1 Red bell pepper (halved)
  • 600-800 ml water
 Method
  1. Line a large baking sheet with aluminium foil and preheat oven to 180 C.  Slice onion into quarters then peel and chop carrots into 1/2 inch chunks. Transfer to a lined baking tray along with the garlic cloves. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil then season with salt, pepper and cumin. Top with fresh thyme then roast for 30-45 mins turning half way through, until carrots are soft.
  2. To a blender, add tomatoes, red bell pepper, roasted carrots, roasted garlic (without the skin) and 800 ml water then blend until smooth. Always start on a low speed as you blend the soup, then slowly transition to high and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the soup into a sauce pot and simmer for 10 mins before serving. Check for seasoning at this point and adjust to your liking.
  4. Serve with croutons or your favourite loaf of bread.

Enjoy!
