Carrot soup is a delicious and nutritious soup made primarily with carrots as the main ingredient. It is usually blended to a smooth consistency and can be seasoned with various herbs and spices to enhance its flavor.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until they are softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and sauté for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender or regular blender, purée the soup until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
Season the soup with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like such as cumin or ginger.
Serve the carrot soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
