One day last week I woke up with a sore throat.
And even though the temps lately have been in the 80-90 degrees F range, there is a feeling of Autumn in the air.
In the mood for soup, I decided to create a roasted carrot soup with some vegies I had in the fridge.
It turned out SOOOO good!
I mean – how can you go wrong with roasted vegetables that include onion and garlic and fresh rosemary pureed into a creamy, warm, soothing soup?
You could add some greek yogurt or cream to make it even creamier, but I loved the freshness and healthiness of this soup that tastes like it is loaded with calories, but instead is low-calorie and loaded with flavor!
Hope you will give it a try. I loved how it turned out!
Roasted Carrot Soup
- 1 lb. bag organic short cut carrots
- 1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
- 1/2 large sweet onion, cut into chunks
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, chunked
- 1 large sprig fresh rosemary, minced
- Maldon Sea Salt Flakes * (which I purchase through Amazon)
- Freshly Ground Pepper
- Olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Croutons for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Layer first 8 ingredients in a large stoneware bar pan or shallow roasting pan. Drizzle liberally with olive oil, and toss to coat. Roast 30-40 minutes.
Transfer roasted vegetables to a pot. Add chicken broth. Blend with Immersion Blender or in food processor or blender until creamy. (I love using an immersion blender as it is quick, efficient, and easy to clean up.)
Ladle into bowls, and top with croutons if desired.
Enjoy!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
*I have become such a huge fan of Maldon Sea Salt! I’ve always been a salt lover, but these soft, flaky sea salt crystals have a clean salt flavor without the bitter after taste that table salts I’ve always used in the past leave. It truly provides a freshness that enhances the flavor of food. I so highly recommend it! It not only tastes wonderful, but it is also beautiful to season with. AND, as a watercolor artist, I love it to use to create textures in my artwork! I keep mine in a cute little bamboo salt box on the kitchen counter next to the stovetop for ease of grabbing pinches of for cooking. Bravo Maldon!! (and this is not a paid promotion in any way, shape, or form – I just seriously love this stuff!)
Jodi from being an artist of painting now you have become a good cook. Very delicious and yummy recipe. Will definitely give it a try at home. Very nutritious too.

Yes we are in a serious heat wave right now with record breaking heat for this time of year. Even canceling and sending kids home from school in the city where they don’t have AC as temps in rooms are in 100s.

Love soups, hard to find good recipes. This looks yummmmm. Will be a must try, first rainy or cool day we have. Did your soar throat go away? Also thanks for the link on the salt! Amazon Prime even. I love things you put in the oven and roast. Never did much with the crock pot not a morning person. But oven roasting perfect. Beautiful photos too!

Delicious use for roasted carrots! Hope you’re all healed up now…I also use a little box for my salt – I love using “finger-pinches” of salt rather than teaspoons! Thanks for the recipe Jodi 🙂
