Roasted Carrot And Garlic Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and cut the carrots into ½-inch rounds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil. Add the ginger and the sprig of thyme and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Dice the onion and place in a medium stockpot with the remaining olive oil. Cook the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned. Season. Add the garlic, and then the carrots.
• Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock, and add the stock to the pot with the onions and carrots. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to purée.
• Use an immersion or standard blender to purée the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and gently reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Stir carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic together in a large roasting pan; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, stirring once, about 50 minutes. Remove roasted vegetables from oven; scrape vegetables and any brown bits into a large pot. Pour vegetable broth into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil.
• Blend soup until smooth with a stick blender; stir in cream to thin soup to desired consistency.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Arrange the carrots and garlic on a foil lined rimmed baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast 40 minutes or until vegetables are softened and browned.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion, leek and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted carrots and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Then pour in 2 cups of the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the heavy cream.
• Working in batches in a traditional blender or using an immersion blender, puree until smooth and velvety, adding the remaining stock as needed to create desired texture. (I used all the broth.).
• Return to heat and cook just until heated through. Serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream, creme fraiche, yogurt or whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
• To prepare garlic, cut off the top third of the head. Drizzle with 1 T olive oil and then wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in oven 45min to an hour until very soft.
• Place sliced carrots in a baking pan large enough so they sit in a single layer. Drizzle the remaining oil on them and stir so that they are covered. Put the pan of carrots in the oven with the garlic. Give them a stir every 20 minutes or so to prevent sticking.
• While carrots and garlic are roasting, heat butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Saute onions for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally til soft and translucent. Turn off the heat while you wait for the carrots to finish roasting.
• Once garlic is soft, remove from oven, unwrap the foil, and set aside to cool.
• Turn up the oven to 350 and continue roasting carrots for 15 more minutes.
• Now put your carrots in the pan with the onions and add 2 cups of stock. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
• While this simmers carefully squeeze out the bulbs of garlic and place them in a blender. They should pop right out.
• Add carrot and onion mixture to the blender as well and blend until smooth.
• Pour soup back into the skillet and gently heat to a simmer, adding more stock as needed to reach the consistency you want. Now add your cumin and salt, tasting to see if more is needed.
• Ladle into bowls, top with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice carrots on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices and place into a bowl. Drizzle with butter and stir in fresh garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread onto the baking sheet in an even layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until carrots are lightly caramelized and soft, 20 to 22 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables, including garlic cloves, with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Spread in baking dish or on sheet pan in an even layer and place in oven. Set timer for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, stir vegetables and turn heat down to 400 degrees. Roast for another 20 to 30 minutes (or longer; I have found every oven I've used to be different, thus the range), or until very tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring every 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have about 4 cups roasted vegetables.
• Hold garlic cloves with a towel so that you don't burn your fingers. Squeeze out the pulp into a blender. Add half the vegetables and 2 cups of the stock. Cover the top of the blender with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid, because hot mixture will jump and push the top off if the blender is closed airtight. Blend until smooth and transfer to a soup pot. Repeat with the second half of the roasted vegetables. Transfer to the pot and whisk in remaining broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat through. Serve each bowl with a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs and if you wish, a swirl of crème fraîche or yogurt.
