Roasted Carrot and White Bean Soup

Roasted Carrot & White Bean Soup

Serves 4
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 18 Carrot (medium, peeled, and roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  • Yellow Onion (medium, diced)
  • 3 stalks of Celery (chopped)
  • 4 Garlic (cloves, minced)
  • 4 cups Organic Vegetable Broth
  • 2 1/2 cups White Navy Beans (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 cup Tahini
  • 1/2 Lemon (juiced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375oF (191oC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chopped carrots with half of the olive oil. Spread them over the baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking.
  3. In a large pot, heat the rest of the olive oil. Add the onion and celery, cook for 7-10 minutes or until softened. Then add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
  4. Add the roasted carrots, vegetable broth, white beans, turmeric, and tahini into the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree until completely smooth. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Divide between bowls and enjoy!

Notes: 

Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Serving Size: One serving is approximately 2 cups.

No Immersion Blender:  Use a regular blender instead, ensuring there is a place in the lid for the steam to escape.

Carrot Tip:  If using different-sized carrots, aim for about 0.5 lb. of carrots per serving.

No Carrots: Use sweet potato instead.

Add Toppings: Greek yogurt, avocado, roasted vegetables, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, or extra turmeric.
