Ingredients
- 8 cups carrot peeled and chopped
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon dill dried
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°
- Take a large baking pan and line with parchment paper
- Peel your carrots and chop them about 1/2 inch thick. Cutting on a diagonal is best. Put them in a large bowl. Drizzle them with two tablespoons olive oil and the salt stirring them well to coat. Add to the baking sheet so they are all in a single layer.
- Put them in the oven for about 15 minutes and toss them. Return to the oven for 10-25 more minutes, when they are easily pierced with a fork and are slightly caramelized at the edges, they are done. Set aside.
- In a medium / large pot over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and simmer until translucent. Add the chopped garlic and simmer for another minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Add in the vegetable broth or chicken broth and dill and stir well
- Add in the roasted carrots and bring to a boil. Turn down to a steady simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Add in the butter until it is melted and incorporated.
- Remove from the heat. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add in more broth if the soup is a bit too thick for your liking.
