Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the chopped carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add the roasted carrots, white beans, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir in fresh thyme and bring to a simmer.
  • Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Serving

  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley, a drizzle of yogurt or cream, and toasted nuts if desired.

Storage

  • Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer preservation.

Notes

Pro Tips: Roasting the carrots enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth to the flavor. Use an immersion blender for easy blending directly in the pot.
Ingredient Substitutions: Swap white beans with chickpeas for a different flavor. Use chicken broth if not vegetarian.
How to Serve: Pair with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Refrigerate soup in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the soup a day in advance to allow flavors to develop even further.
