Caramelized Carrot Soup: Delicious Healthy Recipe

What would you cook with  a 2 pounds bag of baby carrots?  A carrot soup! So obvious, right? Check out my delicious carrot soup recipe and take advantage of the next sale on baby carrots!

My husband went to the grocery store and he bought that huge bag of baby carrots! Huh! I turned red (or orange) when I saw that!  Once the bag was opened, we need to eat the carrots within five days! Although my kids love carrots (a bunny would be probably jealous) they cannot consume that in 5 days! I went with a healthy soup to use that huge quantity of this vegetable! I usually cook this regular carrot soup  but I found this new recipe that puts a spin and adds extra taste to the soup. The recipe, created by Joanna Tymnkiw, was in my local newspaper.

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 cup of sliced red onion.
• 1 teaspoon of sugar

• 3 cups of vegetable stock
• Optional: 2 teaspoons of curry powder.

Directions:

• Melt oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat
• Add onion and sugar! Stir occasionally for 5 minutes!
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir together for 5 minutes or until they are softened
• Let it caramelize and watch closely because you don’t want it to burn!

• Cover and bring to simmer for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender!
• Blend it and add salt and pepper

 

I served this carrot soup healthy recipe with some homemade garlic bread!

Verdict: Delicious! The coconut milk added such a nice flavor to the soup! It was a huge success among the family! Since I had a huge quantity for carrots, I made a double batch and froze it in small quantities. It is convenient for those cold nights or for an after skiing day!
