Rich in color and flavor, this Creamy Carrot Soup is absolutely delicious! This easy soup is bound to become a family favorite!

Just like my Roasted Tomato Soup and the Instant Pot Corn Chowder, this carrot soup is a family favorite around here.

CREAMY CARROT SOUP

I am excited to finally share my favorite carrot soup recipe! I love that it uses a whole bag of carrots (you need 2lbs) so you won't have leftover carrots hanging around your fridge. My go-to method of making soups is to add seasoning while the vegetables are sauteing. It's the best way to activate the herbs and spices and infuse them into the veggies. I did that in my Instant Pot Chicken and Rice Soup. Just ¼ cup of heavy cream is all you need to enrich the flavors. Serve this delicious soup with croutons, roasted chickpeas or simply garnished with parsley. This soup is perfect for lunch as well as Easter dinner.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY CARROT SOUP?

  • Start by peeling and chopping carrots.
  • Heat up oil in a soup pot. Add one tablespoon of butter and let melt. Add shallots and saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and carrots and stir in. Add seasoning and stir in.
  • Saute vegetables for 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to boil, lower heat and simmer until carrots are soft.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy.
  • Add heavy cream and stir in.
  • Serve with chopped parsley, croutons, etc.

CARROT SOUP VARIATIONS:

  • add curry paste, ginger and make it Thai!
  • roast carrots instead of cooking them in the liquid.
  • add one potato to make the soup creamy without the heavy cream.

    Hello Anna, about to make the delicious sounding creamy carrot soup. A query : I have read the recipe several times but could still be missing when is the 2nd tablespoon of butter used? Many thanks Wallis

      Hi Wallis! It should be stirred in at the end. So sorry about that! I will fix it in the instructions. I hope you love the soup!
