Roasted Carrot And Brie Soup Recipes

ROASTED GARLIC AND BRIE SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325ºF. Place garlic in medium glass baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Cover dish with foil. Bake until garlic is golden and very tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to rack and cool garlic.
• Heat remaining 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add celery and carrot and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add flour and stir 3 minutes. Gradually stir in stock. Bring to boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Peel garlic and transfer to processor. Add 1 cup soup to garlic. Purée until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir in oregano and thyme. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Bring soup to a simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually add Brie, stirring until melted after each addition. Season soup to taste with white pepper and salt. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

ROASTED CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and cut the carrots into ½-inch rounds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil. Add the ginger and the sprig of thyme and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Dice the onion and place in a medium stockpot with the remaining olive oil. Cook the onion over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned. Season. Add the garlic, and then the carrots.
• Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock, and add the stock to the pot with the onions and carrots. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft enough to purée.
• Use an immersion or standard blender to purée the mixture until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and gently reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh thyme.

DEE'S ROASTED CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Stir carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic together in a large roasting pan; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, stirring once, about 50 minutes. Remove roasted vegetables from oven; scrape vegetables and any brown bits into a large pot. Pour vegetable broth into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil.
• Blend soup until smooth with a stick blender; stir in cream to thin soup to desired consistency.

ROAST CARROT SOUP WITH PANCETTA CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the carrots, half the oil, the garlic and thyme in a roasting tin. Season and toss everything together. Pop in the oven and roast for 45-50 mins, or until tender and beginning to turn golden.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil and butter in a large saucepan. Tip in the onions and cook over a low heat for 10 mins until soft. When the carrots are done, remove from the oven. Squeeze the soft roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and pop in the saucepan. Tip in the carrots and discard any woody thyme stalks. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins.
• To make the croutons, wrap the pancetta around the soldiers, leaving the ends of the bread exposed. Put on a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and grind over some black pepper. Bake for 10 mins until the pancetta and bread edges are crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
• While the croutons are cooking, blitz the soup with a hand blender, then sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing to get as much liquid through as possible. Add 5 tbsp of the cream, heat through and season. Adjust the thickness with a little water, if you like. You can chill the soup for up to 1 day at this point, or freeze for 2 months. Reheat before serving. Serve drizzled with the remaining cream and garnished with thyme, with the croutons.

ROASTED-CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut onion into 8 wedges (keep root end intact to hold layers together). Toss onion, carrots, endive, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, and spread in a single layer. Roast vegetables, turning occasionally, until edges are deep golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Cut off root end from onion. Transfer all vegetables to a large saucepan, and add bay leaf. Add enough stock to just cover (about 2 cups). Bring to a simmer, and cook until carrots are very soft, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, and discard bay leaf. Puree vegetables and stock in a blender until smooth (work in batches, if necessary, to avoid filling blender more than halfway).
• Transfer puree to a clean pan; place over low heat. Stir in cream; add stock to thin soup to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper; stir in ginger. If desired, pipe creme fraiche onto each serving, or place dollop on top.
