ROASTED CARROT AND CAULIFLOWER CURRIED SOUP
This restaurant-quality soup is hearty and very tasty! I didn't have onions at home when I made this. Although the soup turned out really flavorful without them, I will probably add an onion or two next time I make it. Garnish with basil, wonton noodles, and sour cream.

ROASTED CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO SOUP
This is a creamy, comforting winter soup that is incredibly simple to make. All you need to do is blend together broth and roasted vegetables and heat through. You can make the soup with other roasted vegetables as well, but I love the sweet combination of the carrots and parsnips. If you've got roasted vegetables on hand, you'll need about 4 cups.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
- Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.

ROASTED CARROT SOUP
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.

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.
CREAMY ROASTED CARROT GINGER SOUP

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place carrots in a large bowl and drizzle one tablespoon of the olive oil over the top. Toss to coat and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss again. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake, stirring/flipping every 15 minutes or so, until tender and browned in spots, about 40 minutes total. Remove from oven and let cool a bit.
- While the carrots are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until just beginning to brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. Add the ginger and the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for five minutes until ginger is tender. Remove from heat.
- When both the roasted carrots and the broth have cooled somewhat, add the carrots to the broth. Working with a blender in batches, puree the soup and return it to the pot; or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Please make sure your soup has cooled enough to safely puree!
- Place pureed soup over medium heat and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream or coconut milk. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

ROASTED CARROT-FENNEL SOUP
Kudos to my sis! This former fast-food junkie has become a lot more conscious of the foods she prepares for her family in recent years. The fact that her husband has had a heart attack (requiring quadruple bypass surgery) and a stroke in the past few years--as well as being diagnosed diabetic--has most likely had something to do with this. In any event, I couldn't be happier that she is trying to eat better and to make sure her family does the same! Knowing that I'm a veggie, she has been sharing any good vegetarian recipes that come her way. This one comes from a neighbor who is quite the creative chef. Simple and delicious, it's the perfect dinner for a cold winter night. Serve with a warm crusty loaf of homemade bread, and you're in business. Thanks, sis : ) !

Steps:
- 1. Toss carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and generously sprinkle with salt.
- 2. Place carrots on baking sheet and broil until soft and brown. Turn carrots every 5 minutes to ensure they do not char.
- 3. Bring stock to a boil and add the ginger and sprig of thyme. Gently simmer for 15 minutes.
- 4. In a medium stock pot, add onion and remaining olive oil and brown/caramelize onion over medium heat.
- 5. Once the onion is caramelized, add garlic and carrots.
- 6. Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock and pour stock over onion and carrot mixture. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until the carrots are very soft.
- 7. Puree mixture until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding stock (if too thick) or reducing over medium heat (if too thin).
- 8. Add chopped dill and mix well.
- 9. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper. The soup should have just a little kick from the white pepper.
GINGER-ORANGE ROASTED CARROT SOUP WITH SPICY SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Put the carrot disks on a cookie sheet, drizzle them with a little EVOO, and season them with salt and pepper. Toss the carrots around to make sure they are well coated. Spread in an even layer then roast them for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and the bottoms are browned. Stir the carrots at least twice while they roast so they cook evenly. Zest the orange and reserve.
- In a shallow dish, combine the juice of half of the orange with the hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, and a little salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat; set aside for a few minutes.
- Preheat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the onions, ginger, garlic, curry powder, and salt and pepper to the pot and cook until the onions are tender and lightly colored, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If you find the onions are browning before they are getting tender, add a splash of water. Transfer the cooked onions to a blender or food processor, where they can wait for the carrots to finish roasting. Return the soup pot to the cooktop, add the chicken stock, and bring it up to a simmer.
- When the carrots are roasted, transfer them to the blender or food processor where the onions are patiently waiting. Add a little ladle of the hot chicken stock and puree until the vegetables are smooth. Start by pulse-grinding the mixture to get it going and then let 'er rip. Add more hot stock, bit by bit, until it incorporates. Careful, sometimes when blending hot things the blender or food processor top is not tight enough and you can get splashed: put a kitchen towel over the lid for extra safety. (Hot carrot puree is not a home facial technique!) Add the carrot-onion puree to the bubbling stock and stir to combine, then let the soup gently simmer while you cook the shrimp.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of EVOO. Drain the shrimp and cook them on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Add the parsley and toss.
- Check the soup consistency. If you want it thicker let it simmer a little bit longer; if you want it less thick, add a couple splashes of chicken stock to thin it out. Add the orange zest, stir it to combine, then taste and check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.
- Ladle some soup into shallow serving bowls and arrange 3 shrimp in the center of each bowl, standing up if you can manage it.

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!

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor, use fresh, sweet carrots. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Roast the carrots properly: Roasting the carrots brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. Be sure to roast them until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is pureed, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make the soup look more appealing and inviting. Try topping it with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Roasted carrot soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted carrots. With its sweet, earthy flavor and creamy texture, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
