I know I’ve said it before, but I think it’s for real this time … Fall is in the air! In our house, that means one thing: SOUP SEASON!
So last weekend, I set out to make a new kinda soup for me… a creamy, thick, hearty and totally delicious soup!
Meet my roasted carrot apple soup!
Believe it or not, I’ve never been a soup fan. Yup, something that is so easily chock full of veggies, and I wasn’t a fan! Shocking!
But recently — and maybe it has to do with living in a city where I walk countless chilly blocks — soup has slurped its way into my heart. Although I am not a fan of slurping! 🙂 Because what’s better when you’re out in the chill with a slightly runny nose (just me?! Literally doesn’t stop!), than SOUP?!
But soup can actually be a tough food for some of us to digest. My Roasted Carrot Apple Soup is in no way low fodmap (Low what?? Click here to find out about Low Fodmap foods!), but it is dairy free, gluten free and vegan, so many can still enjoy without any tummy troubles.
How to spot a nourishing soup recipe
So what should you look for when perusing soup recipes or even looking for a store-bought version (because hey, you can always make this roasted carrot apple soup or my other fave veggie soup)...?
- Look for REAL ingredients that you can recognize.
- Be sure to check the sodium content. Many canned soups are chock full of extra salt that can leave you feeling inflated like a balloon!
- Check the servings per container. A lot of times there can be 4 servings in a container that fills two huge bowls. As long as you listen to your hunger and satiety cues, you’ll be golden!
If you’re looking for the perfect homemade soup for your holiday table, or to fill up for the week, try my Roasted Carrot Apple Soup!
Now this combination may sound a bit strange to you, but the roasted apples and carrots add a hint of sweetness that is just delicious! If you’ve never roasted apples before, try one straight off the baking sheet. It’s like a baked apple, but simpler and so sweet to snack on. Maybe apple “chips” will become the new kale chip?
Apples and carrots are two fall produce staples that are full of nutrients.
As one of the most popular fruits, apples are a…
- Good source of fiber
- Low in (natural) sugar
- Good source of vitamin C (to help boost your immune system)
- Full of water
- A rich source of polyphenols
- Heart-healthy
- And more!
Carrots aren’t just great for your vision, but a…
- Excellent source of vitamin A (that’s great for your eyes)
- Very good source of vitamin C
- Chock full of fiber (almost 3.5g per cup!)
- Very good source of vitamin K
- Full of antioxidants (especially if you enjoy the variety of colors!)
- And more!

Let’s cook up some souper soup…
PrintRoasted Carrot Apple Soup
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 5 pounds carrots, chopped (no need to peel)
- 2 Macintosh apples, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 large red onion (about 3/4 cup sliced)
- 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional toppings: Toasted pumpkin seeds and/or plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Chop carrots and apples and arrange on a tin foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet. You may need to use more than one baking sheet, depending on the size. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons olive oil on the carrots and apples, then toss so evenly coated. Roast carrots and apples for about 40 minutes, until soft to fork.
- When the carrots are almost done roasting, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a medium-sized stock pot and add sliced onions. Saute onions over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
- Add the roasted veggies to the stock pot with vegetable broth and all spices. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the contents of the stock pot into a high-powered blender, and blend until smooth.
- Once smooth, stir in 2 cups of water to thin the soup. You may add less or more water (or vegetable broth, if desired) to obtain your desired consistency.
- Heat over low to medium heat until brought to a boil. Serve immediately.
Notes
Notes: 1) If soup is cooled and then reheated, may need to add additional liquid (water or vegetable broth) to achieve desired consistency.
2) Soup can be transferred to freezer-safe containers and stored in the freezer for 3-6 months.
