Storing the homemade Carrot Soup

Fridge – If you have leftover roasted carrot soup, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, you can reheat the soup on the stove or in the microwave.

Freezer -This soup freezes well for up to 3 months. Before reheating, be sure to thaw the soup in the refrigerator overnight. You may need to thin out the soup with a little water or stock when reheating if it has been frozen.

Tips to make this Best Carrot soup

Roasting carrots, onion, garlic and tomatoes render extraordinary flavour to this comforting VEGAN Roasted Carrot soup!

Prep the Vegetables – There is a difference between Good Soup & Better Soup. What makes the difference is the Quality of Ingredients used and a little attention to the process of Cooking. Use fresh ingredients instead of Frozen Vegetables – the flavours are quite different.

Roast the Vegetables until Fork Tender in the oven or air fryer – Prep the vegetables and add them roughly chopped to a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season. Bake at 200C/ 400 F checking every 10 minutes until they are roasted and fork tender. You really do not want the vegetables to be mushed up.

Simmer for the flavours to combine – Add the roasted vegetable along with the stock to the pot and simmer for at least 10 -15 minutes. Simmering the soup will allow the flavours to mingle. I highly recommend – do not miss this step. You might be wondering why the vegetables have roasted anyways but it does make a difference in the flavours. It really does not take that long but you will be glad when you actually taste the soup.

Puree the Soup Smooth – I like to use a Stick blender in a pot and process them smoothly. If you would like to use a tabletop blender, I would allow the soup to cool down for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to the blender jar.

PS: Hot ingredients in the Blender can cause the lid to open and make a mess!

Serving Suggestions

There are many options for serving with carrot soup, depending on your preferences and the occasion. Here are a few ideas:

  • Air fryer Grilled cheese or Vegetable sandwiches
  • A green salad with a light vinaigrette
  • Crusty bread, Irish soda bread, Garlic knots or Dinner rolls, for dipping in the soup
  • A protein, such as grilled tofu or grilled paneer, on the side
  • Air fryer croutons as a garnish for the top
  • Air fryer Roasted vegetables, or root vegetables tray bake or air fryer roasted broccoli
  • A dollop of cream, yogurt or sour cream on top of the soup

Why is my carrot soup bland? ›

If a soup is tasting bland in the bowl, consider adding acid rather than salt. A squeeze of lemon or lime, or a dash of yogurt or sour cream can add brightness to the bowl. Start with the basics. Ensure you've added enough salt and black pepper.

Should I saute carrots before adding to soup? ›

While certain vegetables can work just fine added directly to simmering soups and stews (say, carrots and celery), other vegetables (onions, garlic, and the like) will almost always need at least a brief sweat in a fat-based liquid before adding the remaining ingredients.

Parchment paper can handle the heat inside your air fryer - up to 428°F (220°C). To get the best results, add the parchment paper to the air fryer basket at the same time as you add your ingredients. This prevents the paper from lifting up and coming into contact with the heating element while cooking.

Add flour or cornflour

Put a tablespoon of either into a small bowl and stir in 2-3 tbsp of the soup until you have a smooth mixture. Stir this back into the soup and bring it to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes to allow the starch granules to burst to thicken, and to cook out any flour flavour.
