Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (900g) carrots
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 1 small jalapeño
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 ½ cups broth chicken or vegetable
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fine Himalayan salt

Optional

  • 5 sausages chicken or beef

Instructions

  • Cut the carrots in half or in thirds depending on how big they are.
  • Chop the garlic and jalapeño and sauté them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes over medium-heat. Add the carrots and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  • Add the cumin, turmeric and salt and let it cook for another minute.
  • Add the stock, applesauce and and stir. Place the lid on the pan and allow the carrots to cook until soften, about 30 to 40 minutes over medium-heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the carrots in the pan. You can also use any blender you have - add the carrots and stock to your blender and blend to puree everything (you may need to do this in batches).

Optional:

  • Slice and sauté sausage in a skillet over medium-heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until brown. Then mix them in your carrot soup and serve.

Notes

You can speed up cooking time by making it in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker - please see post for instructions.
