Ingredients
Gather these ingredients to create your very own bowl of goodness:
- 2 lbs carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your Smoked Carrot Bisque:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the carrots in the spices.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until the carrots are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the carrots are cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or a stand blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
- Return the bisque to the pot and stir in the coconut milk. Heat on low for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring to combine.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
