Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1 inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 -3 cups chicken stock
1 -2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
  • To prepare garlic, cut off the top third of the head. Drizzle with 1 T olive oil and then wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in oven 45min to an hour until very soft.
  • Place sliced carrots in a baking pan large enough so they sit in a single layer. Drizzle the remaining oil on them and stir so that they are covered. Put the pan of carrots in the oven with the garlic. Give them a stir every 20 minutes or so to prevent sticking.
  • While carrots and garlic are roasting, heat butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Saute onions for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally til soft and translucent. Turn off the heat while you wait for the carrots to finish roasting.
  • Once garlic is soft, remove from oven, unwrap the foil, and set aside to cool.
  • Turn up the oven to 350 and continue roasting carrots for 15 more minutes.
  • Now put your carrots in the pan with the onions and add 2 cups of stock. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • While this simmers carefully squeeze out the bulbs of garlic and place them in a blender. They should pop right out.
  • Add carrot and onion mixture to the blender as well and blend until smooth.
  • Pour soup back into the skillet and gently heat to a simmer, adding more stock as needed to reach the consistency you want. Now add your cumin and salt, tasting to see if more is needed.
  • Ladle into bowls, top with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!

ROASTED CARROT SOUP



Roasted Carrot Soup image

This is one of my favorite soups, from a Food52 community member. It's done in about 30 minutes: silky, complex, nutritious, and perfect either as a first course or as a meal in itself. Roasting the carrots and infusing the broth with ginger and thyme are the secrets to giving the soup a sweet, earthy depth. Use a quality vegetable stock-since there are so few ingredients here, each one really counts.

Provided by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 pounds large carrots, about 6-8
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt
6 cups high-quality vegetable stock, low-sodium
1 piece ginger, peeled, one inch long
1 sprig thyme, plus more for garnish
1/2 large sweet onion
2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped, use large cloves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the carrots into ½-inch rounds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil. Add the ginger and the sprig of thyme and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Dice the onion and place in a medium stockpot with the remaining olive oil. Cook the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned. Season. Add the garlic, and then the carrots.
  • Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock, and add the stock to the pot with the onions and carrots. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to purée.
  • Use an immersion or standard blender to purée the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and gently reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh thyme.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, brightly colored, and free of blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
  • Use a variety of carrots: For a more flavorful soup, use a mix of different types of carrots, such as orange, yellow, and purple carrots.
  • Roast the carrots before adding them to the soup: Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly caramelized taste.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Carrot soup is best when it is slightly chunky. Overcooking the soup will make it mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Use salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to carrot soup.

Conclusion:

Carrot soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover carrots.
