'Cream' of Carrot Soup

SO - when I bought my GIANT bag of carrots at the wholesale club..... I should have done a better kitchen inventory - because I found I already HAD a bag of carrot. Since we are not cooked-carrot-eating-folks.... I went on a quest for WHAT to do with all the carrots..... here's what I found - my altered version:

  • 12 carrots - peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium onions diced
  • 1 potato (with skin) diced
  • 2 T vegan butter
  • 4 c veggie broth
  • 1 can LIGHT coconut milk
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp fresh, chopped rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)
  • salt and pepper to taste....
1. Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft.
2. Add carrots and potatoes. Cover in veggie broth and cook until veggies are soft (20-30 minutes depending on how small they are sliced)
3. Add remaining ingredients.
4. Puree using either an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender.


I served this soup with croutons and a side of whole wheat rosemary and olive pile bread. Totally YUM. Enjoy!

  1. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but this sounds really good. I am trying to add more veges to my diet. Thanks for sharing.

  2. All the recipes have been tried by my family - and some friends - who are NOT vegan.... so if the recipe is here, its usually a hit with more than one person. Enjoy! The mushroom soup is also a HUGE hit if you like soup :)
