Rutabaga carrot soup tastes sweet and delightfully creamy. Rutabaga, carrots and onion are simmered in a pot with broth and then blended into a flavorful puree.
1large rutabaga, peeled and chopped - about 4 cups
½onion - chopped
3garlic cloves - minced
3carrots - peeled and chopped
32ozvegetable broth - or chicken broth
½cupheavy cream - or coconut milk
salt and pepper - to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and chop 1 large rutabaga into small chunks, roughly 4 cups. Add to a large bowl and drizzle with cooking oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss until it's evenly coated.
Add the rutabaga to a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 40 minutes.
You'll know when rutabaga is done when golden on the edges and soft when poked with a fork.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, saute 3 minced garlic cloves and ½ chopped onion with cooking oil until the onions turn translucent, 1-2 minutes.
Add 3 peeled and chopped carrots, and saute for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients: roasted rutabaga, 32 oz vegetable broth, ½ cup heavy cream. Add Salt and pepper to taste.
Let soup simmer for about 20 minutes. Check that the carrots have softened by poking them with a fork.
In small batches, pour the soup into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, then add to a large bowl. Repeat until all soup is pureed. If you don't have a blender, use a food processor or immersion blender.
Add to serving bowls, season with more salt and pepper, and serve.
Recipe Notes:
Refrigerate – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just give it a good stir before reheating as the liquid separates a bit.
To Reheat – Reheat on the stove covered with a pot, or in the microwave covered with a paper towel and stirred halfway through to prevent it from splattering.
