Cream of Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup

This delicious soup is bursting with carotenoids, an antioxidant that will keep your skin glowing and youthful looking. Another upside, it’s very easy to make!          

Here’s what you’ll need:                                 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped

6 to 7 cups chicken broth

6 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

1 cup cream (I used 10%)

Salt and pepper to taste

In a stockpot, heat olive oil over low to medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook for about 2 minutes or until they turn slightly transparent. Carefully pour chicken broth in pot with onions and bring to a slight boil. Meanwhile, prepare carrots, sweet potatoes, russet potatoes and garlic and add to broth. Bring to a boil once more and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until all vegetables are soft. Turn off heat and let cool.

Once soup has cooled, transfer to blender in batches and blend until smooth. Pour in cream, add salt and pepper to taste and reheat, if necessary, on low.

Serve with a multigrain baguette topped with brie and you’ve got a delicious meal prepped and served in about 30 minutes!
