Tomato Carrot Soup Recipe
Description
The Tomato Carrot Soup Recipe begins by sautéing carrots and onions in olive oil until soft, then infusing garlic for flavor. Adding crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, salt, and thyme creates a flavorful broth that simmers until the carrots are tender. Blending the soup until smooth produces a velvety consistency.
Stirring in cream enriches the soup and rounds out the acidity of the tomatoes. Serving with fresh minced basil or parsley adds a fresh herbal note on top.
An optional garnish of sautéed carrots provides an attractive presentation and a subtle contrast in texture. Adjust seasoning as needed for salt and pepper before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 medium carrot sliced
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 28-ounce ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1-2 teaspoon salt see notes
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ cup cream
- basil to serve, minced or parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute more.
- Add the tomatoes, stock, salt, and thyme and bring the pot to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft.
- Working in batches, blend the soup until it's smooth then return it to the pot. (You can also use an immersion blender.)
- Stir the cream into the soup then season to taste with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
Notes
- Sautéed carrot garnish can be added on top for visual appeal and extra texture.
