If the supply holds up -- and since I'm on the route -- I'd be glad for a
pound or two as well.
Thanks!

Thank you for the generous offer, Sussi. I’d like to take you up on
it—maybe a pound or two? Please let me know a good time to pick them up
(maintaining proper distance of course). And thanks to Mishy for the
recipe. I’m happy to try any recipe that features cumin and coriander.

This homemade carrot soup recipe is ultra creamy (yet cream-less) and full
of rich, roasted carrot flavor! It’s the best carrot soup you’ll ever have.
Recipe yields 4 bowls or 6 cups of soup.

SCALE1x2x3xINGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds carrots
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided, to taste
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
- 2 cups water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons EVOO (extra virgen olive oil)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed
baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, if desired.
2. To prepare your carrots, peel them and then cut them on the
diagonal so each piece is about ½″ thick at the widest part (see photos).
3. Place the carrots on the baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil
and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Toss until the carrots are lightly coated in
oil and seasonings. Arrange them in a single layer.
4. Roast the carrots until they’re caramelized on the edges and easily
pierced through by a fork, 25 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway. (Heirloom
carrot varieties will roast in as little as 25 minutes, but regular carrots
are more dense and typically require 35 to 40 minutes.)
5. Once the carrots are almost done roasting, in a Dutch oven or soup
pot, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until
shimmering. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally,
until the onion is softened and turning translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
6. Add the garlic, coriander and cumin (if following a variation, see
recipe notes for additions). Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly,
about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, while
scraping up any browned bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon or sturdy
silicone spatula.
7. Add the roasted carrots to the pot when they are out of the oven.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as
necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, to give the
flavors time to meld.
8. Once the soup is done cooking, remove the pot from the heat and let
it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer the hot soup to a
blender, working in batches if necessary. (Do not fill past the maximum
fill line or the soup could overflow!)
9. Add the EVOO and lemon juice (or lime, if following the Thai
variation). Blend until completely smooth. Add additional salt if
necessary, to taste. Add another tablespoon of EVOO if you’d like more
richness, or a little more lemon juice if it needs more zing. Blend again,
and serve.
10. This soup keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about four
days, or for several months in the freezer.

We bought 25 lbs of beautiful organic carrots that a Cambridge restaurant
was unloading as they switched over to take-out only mode. We’d love to
share these with our community, and carrots don’t store that well unless
you sink them in sand which isn’t going to happen right now!
Please let us know if you’d like any amount of this comforting crunchy
goodness.
Warmly,
