This creamy carrot soup recipe is so easy to make. All you’ll need to do is roast the carrots and garlic, blend them up, and throw in the spices while you’re heating it up.
You’re going to love how thick and creamy this soup is. The carrots create most of the texture, and unsweetened plant-based milk does the rest.

How to Make It
Step One
Scrub the dirt off of the carrots and slice off the ends if needed.
We never peel them because we want all of the nutrients that we can get. If you feel like you need to peel them, go for it.
Step Two
Remove the skin from the garlic cloves and wrap them in foil.
Roast the garlic and the carrots on a rimmed baking sheet for approximately 30 minutes, or until the carrots can easily be pierced with a fork.
NOTE: Depending on several variables, such as how much water is in the carrots, how your oven is calibrated, the humidity in the air, etc., the roasting time will vary.
The carrots are ready to puree when you can easily pierce them in the center with a fork.
Step Three
Put the roasted carrots and garlic in the blender with the rosemary and blend on a high speed until the carrots are smooth and velvety.
Step Four
Pour the soup into a medium soup pan and heat it on your stove. Medium temperature is best. Watch it carefully because it will bubble when it gets hot.
Stir in the cumin and salt & pepper, then taste it. Feel free to add more spices if needed. This is your soup, so make it as mild or as bold as you like.
Make Ahead
You can make this up to four days ahead of time. Just store it covered in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
This soup can be frozen for up to three months when stored in a freezer safe container.
