Carrot Potato Soup is a creamy, comforting blend of sweet carrots and starchy potatoes simmered in a flavorful broth. It’s simple, nourishing, and perfect for a cozy meal on a cool day.

Ingredients

  • 4–5 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based or regular cream (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add garlic, chopped carrots, and potatoes. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the broth and season with salt, black pepper, and optional dried herbs.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches and blend carefully.
  6. Stir in a splash of cream if using, and adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a swirl of cream.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of curry powder or fresh ginger for a spiced twist.
  • Mix in cooked lentils or white beans for added protein.
  • Top with croutons, crispy chickpeas, or cheese for texture.
  • Use sweet potatoes for a richer, sweeter flavor.
  • Freezes well—cool completely before freezing in airtight containers.
