Tips:

For a richer flavor, roast the carrots before making the soup. Roasting caramelizes the carrots and brings out their natural sweetness.
If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth or water. However, vegetable broth will give the soup a more flavorful taste.
If you don't have thyme or oregano, you can use other herbs like rosemary, sage, or marjoram.
You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as celery, parsnips, or turnips.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or crème fraîche. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
