MacKenzie Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 A friend gave me a bag of carrots so it just seemed the right time to make carrot soup. Roasted the veggies at 375F until the colour was just right. I didn't really time it as I was also getting breakfast ready. Done, ready for the blender along with ginger, soft tofu, vegetable stock, pepper, salt, and cumin. Used the blender to heat the soup. Soup is served with some sourdough croutons chives and grated carrot. While we are on the yellow/orange kick how about a little homemade lemon ice cream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm not a carrot soup kind of guy but I'd go for that. Great cook. BTW - Carrots were ready to be served when the first came off the grill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Thank goodness this carrot soup wasn't as bland as some I've had served to me. The tofu also made the soup nice and creamy and with some body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazes me that you can generate that much heat from simple friction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 It is hard to believe that the Vitamix can get the soup piping hot in just a few mins. I made a new batch without roasting the veggie first to see the taste difference. There is as expected a noticeable difference in colour and in flavour. The roasted veggies gave a much darker soup and a more mellow taste. I was expecting the big colour difference but not the huge flavour difference. Both are good in their own way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
