Carrots are always a great idea!

I love using carrots in my cooking. Not only is this vegetable very healthy, but it is also super filling. Carrots have a ton of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and fiber. As if that wasn’t enough, when you eat carrots, you also get some antioxidants, which is a good idea to protect your heart and your body from inflammation and damage.

So now that you know why it is a good idea to use carrots, it is time to gather the rest of your ingredients. For this soup, you will need oil, onions, garlic, carrots, coriander, and vegetable stock.

If you need to replace some of these, go with leeks, fennel, sweet potato, turmeric, cumin, and chicken stock.

After you are done cooking everything, place everything into a blender and blend until the consistency is right for you. Return your soup to the stove for a little bit so it thickens.

Freezing and Unfreezing the Carrot Soup

To freeze your soup, cool it down completely, and then divide it up onto freezer bags. Be sure to leave them flat until they turn solid.

When you are ready to cook your soup, place it in a saucepan with extra water, cover, and cook on low heat. Once defrosted, increase the heat and cook until the desired temperature. You can also defrost your soup in the fridge overnight.

Serve this carrot soup warm and add a few sunflower seeds on top and sprinkle feta to finish off!
