So satisfying, so few ingredients.

How wrong is it that I completely exaggerate the benefits of foods to impress my children?

Carrots are good for your eyes; we know this.

Plus, it’s possible for you to make it in about 30 minutes.

Soup is on, right?!

I find the bulk bags of de-stemmed carrots are less sweet.

Stir the curry powder into the onions as they saute, and then make the recipe as written.

you might add more curry powder while the soup simmers if you want to up that flavor.

You could also serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches, like classictomato soup.

Storing and Freezing Carrot Soup

Soups freeze well, and this carrot version is no different.

I like to use a sturdy baguette and top the slices generously with olive oil and Parmesan cheese.

These are fine for kids as well, so feel free to toss them on a plate.

My kids preferred normal crackers, though.

Same goes for feeding soup to a two-year-old.

Kids like soup, in my experience.

My kids both did great with this soup and had full servings!

My four-year-old actually managed to NOT get soup on the ceiling, which was extra special.

My four-year-old, meanwhile, has always been an overachiever, especially in the category of food flinging.

Remove the toasts and set aside.

When the carrots are tender, use an immersion blender right in the pot to blend soup until smooth.

Return the blended soup to low heat and season with salt and white pepper, if you wish.

Ladle the soup into bowls and swirl in about a tablespoon of heavy cream into each bowl.

Garnish the soup with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh minced chives.

Plus, add a cheesy toast dipper!

Reheat the soup gently over low heat on the stovetop.

Dont freeze the soup if youve added cream to it, because it will most likely separate.
