I made this soup for my daughter's
Grey & Yellow Themed 18th Birthday back in February. Luckily the food didn't have to match the theme (except some of the desserts).
With the weather cooling off, my youngest was requesting that I make it again.
She's so spoiled now that she's an "only child".
Of course I made it for her. It sounded good to me too. The original recipe can be found
here. I "veganized" it by swapping veggie broth for chicken broth.
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped carrots(I used baby carrots and cut them up)
1 large onion, chopped (used red onion)
1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
2 cups of vegetable broth (I use Better Than Buillion)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper (I added more to give it more bite)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze almond milk
Bring a large non stick pot to medium heat and add the carrots, onions and potato. Cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes).
Add broth and seasonings and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and let simmer until veggies are soft. This took about 20-30 minutes for me.
If you don't have an immersion blender remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly. Once cooled, pour into a blender and add the almond milk. Puree until smooth.
If you do have an immersion blender, puree the vegetables until smooth. This was FUN!
Add the almond milk and continue pureeing until you reach your desired consistency.
This looked about right to me. This soup is sweet, savory and delicious!
It thickens up if you leave it in the fridge and gets even better.
I added a few carrot curls for crunch and had this for lunch (I'm such a poet!) today.
The stats on this soup are great too.
