The ever humble carrot gets transformed magically into the most lovely, velvety cream soup right in a Vitamix blender. This is a vegan recipe that uses no dairy, no oil, no salt and no nuts! Roasting the carrots, onions and garlic, gives it a real flavor boost. An oven roasted sweet potato adds another level of sweetness, flavor and works as a thickener as well as adding a creaminess. A little fresh ginger root and a dash of curry powder give it a little extra zing. This soup is simply packed full of home made goodness!
Not only is this a scrumptious soup – the color is gorgeous!
When made in a high powered Vitamix Blender, it works it’s magic, turning this into a velvety smooth texture and at the same time it heats the soup! It can be served piping hot right from the blender. Isn’t that awesome? The Vitamix Blender saves me time and money because I can make amazing creamy dressings, sauces, smoothies and soups whenever I want to.
Carrots are a rich source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium and antioxidants. Carrots are a root vegetable and are best known for their orange color. However, carrots also come in other colors such as purple, yellow, red and white. I have only used the orange colored carrots for this soup and I love how vibrant the color is. This is a perfect soup for a whole food plant based lifestyle.

This was a delicious soup, and the first time I have made soup in my vitamix. It was very thick and i added extra broth so it could spin. I also added a squeeze of lemon and it was great. Will make again and again. Thank you Tami!!
