Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium (about 500g) carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish, optional) fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks for even cooking.
Chop the onion into small pieces and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, then sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Add the chopped carrots, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the pot. Stir well to coat the carrots in the spices, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the carrots are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it's completely smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the fat-free half-and-half, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Reheat the soup gently over low heat if needed, being careful not to let it boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
