The Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

• 1/2 a stick of butter

• 1 onion, diced

• 2-4 cloves garlic, minced

• 10-20 large carrots chopped (I buy the large organic bag of carrots from Costco and use a quarter to half of the bag, which soups like a lot but it makes about 12 servings of soup)

• Optional opt half of the carrots for butternut squash. It will make the soup even creamier

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped

• 5 stalks of chopped celery

• 4-6 cups chicken broth (enough to cover everything in the pot)

• 1 teaspoon yellow curry seasoning

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• 2 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 Can of White Beans (can not even taste them and they add amazing protein)

• 1/2 cup of lentils

• Optional ½ cup coconut milk or heavy cream (optional I did not use, but will add extra creaminess)

• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as cilantro or parsley)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

2. Add the vegetables: Stir in the chopped vegetables and seasonings. Cook for 5-30 minutes to let the vegetables start to soften.

3. Add the broth, beans, lentils, and seasonings: Pour the chicken broth, ensuring the vegetables are fully covered. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the carrots and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

4. Blend the soup: Remove the pot from the heat. Blend the soup directly in the pot using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches until smooth.

5. Add creaminess (optional): Stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream for an extra creamy texture.

6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of cracked pepper.

Glow from the Inside Out

Combining carrots and sweet potatoes is a powerhouse of nutrients that promote radiant, healthy skin. Rich in beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), these vegetables help protect your skin from damage, reduce inflammation, and keep you glowing from the inside out. Plus, the antioxidants in this soup can help strengthen your immune system and fight off free radicals that contribute to aging.

It’s more than just a comforting bowl of soup—it’s a natural way to nourish your body and boost your health.

Tips for Perfect Carrot & Sweet Potato Pureed Soup

• Adjust the consistency: If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water until you reach your desired consistency.

• Add spices: For a more complex flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or paprika.

• Meal prep: This soup is stored well in the fridge or in the freezer for up to 3 months. It can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
