Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup diced celery, packed
1/2 cup diced green pepper, packed
1/2 cup diced onion, packed
2 cups coarsely grated carrots, packed
3 cups tomato juice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon splenda
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 3 cloves fresh minced garlic and 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans cream of celery soup or 2 1/2 cups Cream of Celery Concentrate

Steps:

  • 1. Brown beef and discard fat. Add the salt and pepper as you brown the meat. Add celery, peppers and onions. If you don't pack the vegetables in the cup the soup will be a lot thinner. Simmer 5 minutes and then add carrots and simmer additional 5 minutes to let meat flavor be absorbed by the vegetables. 2. Add tomato juice, water, splenda, garlic salt, and marjoram. The marjoram is absolutely necessary for the "winning" flavor. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer at least 30 minutes at the very least. Note: Freezes well or stores several days in fridge.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. For the best flavor, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are woody or have blemishes.
  • Roast the carrots before adding them to the soup. Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you may need to add some additional seasonings to the soup.
  • Add some cream or milk to the soup. This will help to make the soup richer and creamier. You can also use coconut milk or almond milk if you prefer.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for carrot soup include croutons, bacon bits, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
