Plain Roasted Carrot Soup Recipe

Plain Roasted Carrot Soup

From Honeybee1 13 years ago

A delicious, plain carrot soup - no ginger, no orange, no funny stuff. Great for kids and picky eaters.

1 lb. carrots peeled and cut into 2" pieces (Don't use baby carrots) shopping list
1 small or medium yellow onion cut into quarters shopping list
2 cups chicken stock shopping list
2 Tbs olive oil shopping list
1/2 tsp kosher salt (more or less, whatever tastes good to you) shopping list
a few grinds of black pepper shopping list
pinch of dried thyme (or not) shopping list

Preheat oven to 350.
Toss carrots, onion, olive oil, thyme, salt & pepper together.
Put on rimmed cookie sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
Place in soup pot with 2 cups of chicken stock and simmer for 20 minutes or until carrots are soft.
Put carrots and onion in blender with a little of the cooking liquid and blend until smooth. Add more of the cooking liquid and mix until it is the consistency you like.
Taste for salt. You may need to add a little more.
Don't be tempted to use already peeled and cut baby carrots. I love baby carrots but for some reason this soup is just not as good if you use them.

The truth about baby bagged carrots.

I have used baby (mini) carrots before, but it dawned on me that since they've already been peeled, a lot of moisture -- and therefore flavor -- has leeched out of them. Takes them a lot longer to cook, too. I have since stopped using baby carrots because I figured they were a waste of money.
I think this recipe is just what I'm looking for. I LOVE carrots, and being diabetic, that is good for me.
Thank you, Honeybee1.
