Carrots! If you've followed my blog for a while you know that I have a love affair with carrots. They are one of my favorite foods!
Carrots are incredibly delicious. They're both sweet and savory. And they're filled with tons of nutrients.
Pro tip: Foods with bright color have the most nutrients. Carrots definitely fit in that category with their vibrant orange coloring. So good for you!
What's great about carrots is that you don't only have to eat them raw. Cooked carrots taste so much sweeter than raw carrots. It's amazing how versatile they are.
In this Caramelized Carrot Soup we'll cook the carrots until they are nice and sweet for an amazingly delicious flavor. We'll also add some carrot juice - who doesn't want more carrots?!
Let's jump in!
Step 1. Chop the carrots into small rounds and slice the onion.
Step 2. Add the carrots and onion to a pot with 1/4 cup of the vegetable broth. Cook until the onion is tender, stirring occasionally, around 8 minutes.
Step 3. Add the carrot juice, remaining 1/2 cup of vegetable broth, cilantro, cumin, fennel seeds, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes, until the carrots are soft.
Step 4. Meanwhile, toast the almonds on medium-low heat until lightly browned and fragrant.
Step 5. Transfer the soup to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Step 6. Serve the soup topped with cilantro and the toasted almonds. Enjoy!
Thank you God for this soup. Allow us to enjoy this soup and help it to nourish our bodies. Amen.
