Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 4 cups carrots Add natural sweetness; substitute with parsnips for extra flavor depth.
  • 2 cups onions Provide essential aromatics; shallots work as a milder alternative.
  • 2 cups tomatoes Contribute acidity and brightness; canned tomatoes are a convenient substitute.
  • 4 cloves garlic Infuses warmth and richness; use roasted garlic for enhanced sweetness.
For Cooking & Flavoring
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Aids in roasting while adding delightful flavor; can be replaced with avocado oil.
  • 2 teaspoons thyme Enhances freshness in the profile; oregano is an excellent substitute.
  • 4 cups vegetable stock Acts as the primary liquid for your soup; consider chicken stock for a richer taste.
  • 1 leaf bay leaf Adds depth during simmering; feel free to omit for a simpler flavor.
For Creaminess
  • 1 cup cream Provides a luxurious texture; opt for coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
For Finishing Touches
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Adds a hint of brightness to the soup; vinegar can provide similar acidity.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel, and cut the carrots, onions, and tomatoes into uniform chunks.
  2. Spread the prepared vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and thyme.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large soup pot and scrape any browned bits from the baking sheet.
  5. Pour in a splash of vegetable stock to deglaze the pot.
  6. Add enough vegetable stock to cover the roasted vegetables, bring to a simmer for 10–15 minutes.
  7. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until smooth, optionally strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  8. Return to low heat and slowly stir in the cream, adjusting the seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or herb oil.
