Vegan Roasted Carrot Soup
Hello & Happy Tuesday!!
Although it feels like a hot summer Monday today, cooler temps are just the corner, meaning it’s time to break out the effortless fall eats!! Although I plan some recipes, for the most part I simply go with what produce is in season, what I’m craving, and also what’s on the verge of spoiling in my fridge lol.
With cooking full time there will always be food waste. In my childhood home we didn’t waste anything so I try to adhere to that concept and savor everything before I have to toss it or make someone very ill lol. In recent months I went on a carrot binge. I was buying them in bulk every other day and roasting up a storm. I find that they truly mimic the same flavor profile as a sweet potato, have less carbohydrates, and are less hassle to bake. That being said, I had a lingering bag of carrots that didn’t look happy..
and the vegan Roasted Carrot Soup was born!
When it comes to soups you can literally throw everything in a blender if you like and boom, you have soup. However, to make a fab soup, you have to create as much flavor at every opportunity. You can cook the veggies in the pot and then blend. Or my personal favorite method, roasting! Through roasting you derive more flavor and it just enhances the richness of the soup.
What I love about this soup, is simply everything! It’s nutrient packed, affordable, encompasses minimal ingredients, the Ras El Hanout seasoning is a game changer (highly recommend), it’s rich, creamy, has a gorgeous hue, captures the essence of fall, and is even non vegan approved. (husband loved it)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
