Potato Carrot Soup

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 tablespoon oil
    2 small cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 celery sticks, chopped
    2-3 large carrots, chopped
    4 smallish potatoes, cubed
    basil, oregano, garlic powder to taste
    vegetable broth (about 2 cups)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in pan; sauté onion, garlic, and celery until tender.

2. Add potatoes and carrots; cook 3-5 minutes

3. Add broth, herbs, and garlic; bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.

4. Blend all broth and approx. 1/2 potatoes and carrots until creamy.  This ensures that there are lovely chunks in your soup so that you can chew on something.  If you want creamier soup, blend everything.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste. I like to add a dash of red pepper just before blending to give the soup some spice, but this is completely optional.

6. Serve.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 30-40 minutes

the soup has a good taste but is very thick.  i blended in about a cup of soymilk which made it better but it was still very chowderish.  not bad though, and it's easy to make.

This soup was great, I didnt find it too thick or thin, it was perfect. I guess that depends on how much of the veggies you puree at the end, I made sure to keep mine more soupy than chowdery. I also didnt have celery so I used green onion instead and it was delicious. Great for dipping bread Smiley Thank you for sharing, it was just what I needed today.

This soup is great. Though I think that 2 cups of broth isn't enough regardless of how much of the vegetables you blend. I made this twice; first following the original recipe, then making these adjustments: 3 cups of broth, 1/2 -- 3/4 teaspoon each of basil and oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 pepper, and I blended 1/2 the vegetables. The soup is so creamy - you think it has milk.

Mm. Just made this soup today.
Lish.
D-Lish.

Yum yum. I was rather shorthanded on ingredients though, and had to supplement celery with corn, and garlic cloves, with some minced garlic I had in the fridge.
Oh but it was still so yummy.
Mmm mmm mmm.

I'm definitely making this again. *^-^*

Made this recipe this afternoon and thought it was delicious.  Very easy and quick.  I personally added 4 cups of broth rather than 2 and also substituted some frozen cauliflower for the potato.  I have put this in my permenant file.

very tasty and easy. i didn't have an onion so i skipped it. i used some 'better than bullion' paste stuff to make my broth--yumm! this didn't need any extra spices for me.

This was super yummy.  I made it last night for my non-veggie roommate and myself, and we both loved it.  It made a whole lot more than I thought it would by looking at the recipe.  I guess I used pretty big potatoes...

I made this last night and added a handful of frozen spinach (about 1/2 cup maybe?)  It added a great contrast in color and the flavor went perfect.  An easy soup to make when I get home from work so I'm definately making this again!

man, the blender BROKE while I was blending this, so we ate it unblended, but it was still tasty.  I added a can of kidney beans and a bunch of chopped kale.  I need to try it again using a new blender.  (sigh)

Tasty soup- very cheap and easy to make.  Good for when you have nothing in your pantry!  I added about 4 cups of broth to make it soupier and less thick.  The spices I used were basil and tarrogon and they worked out nicely.  I also threw in some frozen peas after I blended half the soup for added color and flavor.

Just made this soup- Mmmmm!

I used a litre of vegan vegetable stock (US "vegetable broth")and it was still thick, but in a good way Grin

Hi Shinjiko,

The bread is Quinoa and Amaranth Rye bread from Tesco, so no, unfortunately I can't claim it as my own!!

I'm not sure if you're in US or UK, but the manufacturer is Biona, based in Cambridge (UK).

finally, a soup recipe that worked for me!! i've made some pretty botched soup attempts but this one worked and it was wonderful. it was so creaming without any cream or milk or anything. i just left out the celery because i didn'y have any but added peas at the end which gave it quite a bit of flavour. i added chilli powder too 'cause i like hot stuffs. next time i would add more carrot (but i think that's because i had less than the ecipe called for...)
thanks for the recipe. i will be using it again.
