Deliciously Creamy Carrot Soup
This Carrot Soup is so full of flavor it may very well become your new favorite soup! Who knew carrot soup could be THIS GOOD!?!
This recipe was inspired by a recipe from Top Chef Season 5, Episode 9 where contestant Chef Jamie Lauren made a carrot soup that blew the judges away! The judges were wowed by a carrot soup and surprised even themselves when they said it was the best soup they had ever had. I knew I needed to have that soup. The soup that she made was a bit more complex with a red pepper oil and cucumber raita. This recipe is for just the soup base which is a stand out all by itself.

What if I don’t have shallots?
This recipe calls for shallots in addition to a regular white onion. Shallots are a smaller member of the onion family that have a sweeter and more mild taste. If you don’t have access to shallots, or simply don’t want to buy them, you can always leave them out, but they really do add a wonderful bit of flavor. You could always try using a sweet onion instead of the white onion as another option.
