Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 onion medium, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 cups vegetable broth low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 cup heavy cream optional, for creaminess
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
- Once the carrots are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.

I don’t understand why you’d put cream in soup. Isn’t that unhealthy? Spent all that time cooking for what? Just eat the carrots.
But cream makes it yummy! Why don’t you just try it? Not everything has to be healthy all the time.
Actually, adding cream can make the soup richer and tastier! Plus, a little indulgence is okay sometimes. Your body needs fats too, ya know?
This soup is amazing! So easy to make and super tasty! Definitely a keeper! 🌟
Amazing? Really? I found it kinda bland. Maybe I did something wrong idk 🤷♂️
I tried this soup last night! It’s definitely a new favorite! But I skipped the cream and it was still great. 🌈
Yummy 😋 But maybe too much onion for my taste. Next time, I’ll skip that. Just my opinion!
Onions are good for you tho, they have vitamins. But yeah, too much can mess it up for sure.
I actually like the onions! They add a nice flavor. But I guess everyone has their own taste buds! 😊
I didn’t have vegetable broth, so I used chicken broth instead. Still turned out good. 😉
My kids loved it! Does anyone have tips on making it thicker? 🤔
Carrots in soup? What’s next? Potato chips in salad? 😂
Soup is soup! Doesn’t matter what you put in it, I guess. Not my favorite tho.
