Chef's tip

👉 For a more intense flavor, lightly caramelize the carrots with the onion for 5 min before adding the water.
👉 If the soup is too thick after blending, add a little hot water, never cold 🔥

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, up to 3 months in freezer bags. Freeze without the heavy cream.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. Add cream and fresh parsley when serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Can be fully prepared the day before. Set aside the cream and parsley for serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring, or in the microwave in 1-2 minute intervals. Add the cream after reheating.

Variations

Add the heavy cream at the end of cooking if you like.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Adjust the seasoning after blending.

Mistakes to avoid

Undercooking the vegetables: simmer for 25 minutes until they are very tender.
Browning the onion: sauté it for 5 minutes until translucent.
Not blending enough: blend until the texture is smooth and uniform.

Frequently asked questions

Comment faire une soupe de carottes maison ?

Sauté the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes, add the carrots and potatoes and cook 2 minutes, pour in 900 ml of water, season with salt and pepper, simmer 25 minutes, then blend and stir in the cream.

Combien de temps cuire les légumes ?

Simmer 25 minutes over medium heat, covered, until the carrots and potatoes are very tender before blending.

Faut-il mettre de la crème ?

It's optional: 50 ml of heavy cream is stirred in after blending, followed by a final seasoning adjustment. The soup is just as good without it.

Comment obtenir une soupe bien lisse ?

Blend the soup after cooking until the texture is smooth and uniform. The potatoes cooked with the carrots add creaminess without any other thickener.
