Categories     Appetizer     Dinner     Lunch     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

20-25 small carrots, peeled and roughly chopped ((10-15 large carrots) about 8 cups of chopped carrots)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
2 tablespoons grated fresh or frozen ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
4-5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream, or half and half for a non vegan option)
Chopped parsley for garnish
Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for garnish

Steps:

  • Put a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  • Throw the carrots, onions and garlic into the pot and let them cook a bit, just until the onions start to become a little soft.
  • Grate some ginger over the pot as the vegetables are heating up and stir that in too.
  • Once the mixture starts to become fragrant (you'll smell that ginger as it heats up), add a few pinches of salt and pepper and pour in enough stock to almost cover the vegetables (should be between 4 and 5 cups of stock).
  • Let this cook over medium-low heat until you can poke a fork in one of the carrot pieces and it falls apart.
  • Remove it from the heat and puree while it's hot. This will help give you a nice smooth texture. Using an immersion blender is the easiest method, as you can leave the soup in the pot. If you'd rather use a regular blender you'll probably have to puree in batches.
  • Once the soup is pureed and you can't see any more chunks, add the can of coconut milk (or milk/cream of your choice).
  • Using the immersion blender again, blend the coconut milk into the soup. Using the blender again at this stage helps the texture to become very velvety. Add more salt and pepper, to your taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt or a swirl of cream (or coconut cream), and a sprinkle of chopped parsley (if you wish).

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Soup

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds carrots
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided, to taste
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
2 cups water
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, if desired.
  • To prepare your carrots, peel them and then cut them on the diagonal so each piece is about ½″ thick at the widest part (see photos).
  • Place the carrots on the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Toss until the carrots are lightly coated in oil and seasonings. Arrange them in a single layer.
  • Roast the carrots until they're caramelized on the edges and easily pierced through by a fork, 25 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway. (Heirloom carrot varieties will roast in as little as 25 minutes, but regular carrots are more dense and typically require 35 to 40 minutes.)
  • Once the carrots are almost done roasting, in a Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and turning translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, coriander and cumin (if following a variation, see recipe notes for additions). Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, while scraping up any browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon or sturdy silicone spatula.
  • Add the roasted carrots to the pot when they are out of the oven. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, to give the flavors time to meld.
  • Once the soup is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the hot soup to a blender, working in batches if necessary. (Do not fill past the maximum fill line or the soup could overflow!)
  • Add the butter, lemon juice (or lime, if following the Thai variation), and several twists of black pepper. Blend until completely smooth. Add additional salt and pepper if necessary, to taste. Add another tablespoon of butter if you'd like more richness, or a little more lemon juice if it needs more zing. Blend again, and serve.
  • This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about four days, or for several months in the freezer.

The Best Vegan Carrot Soup Ever image

This is a vegan spin on a Bavarian carrot soup. It is very delicious and I have even seen it made with other vegetables, like beets, as the star of the dish. Try it out and experiment with other vegetables. I have even substituted the celery with an extra carrot and a teaspoon of celery seed and it worked out great. The recipe listed is my favorite and it is a great go-to for vegans. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Use sweet, tender carrots for the best flavor. Avoid carrots that are woody or have blemishes.
  • Roast the carrots before cooking. Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and makes them more tender.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. A good vegetable broth will add depth of flavor to the soup. Avoid using water, as it will make the soup bland.
  • Don't overcook the soup. Overcooked soup will lose its flavor and become mushy. Cook the soup just until the carrots are tender.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Carrot soup is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy carrots. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this carrot soup a try.
