Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 pound carrots chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey for roasting (optional)
  • 2 onions peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 cup vegetable or chicken broth low-sodium
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper to taste
  • 6 brioche rolls warmed, for serving

Equipment

  • Roasting tray
  • Large pot
  • Blender or immersion blender

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chopped carrots with the honey (if using) and a drizzle of oil, spread on a roasting tray, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  2. While the carrots roast, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook gently for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Add the grated ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the roasted carrots and the broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Purée the soup until completely smooth, either with an immersion blender or in batches in a standing blender.
  5. Return to the pot, stir in the cream, and season with salt and white pepper. Warm through gently without boiling and serve with warmed brioche rolls.
