Potato and Carrot Soup is a creamy, comforting, and wholesome soup made with simple ingredients like potatoes, carrots, and onions. Blended until smooth and optionally finished with cream, it’s a cozy bowl of nourishment perfect for any season.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup cream or milk (optional, for richness)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced potatoes and sliced carrots, coating them in the aromatics.
  4. Pour in the broth to cover the vegetables and add thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot or blend in batches for a smoother texture.
  7. Stir in cream or milk if using, and adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use olive oil and plant-based milk or omit cream altogether.
  • Add lentils or white beans before blending for extra protein.
  • Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes for the best creamy texture.
  • Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • Add spinach or celery for extra nutrients and variation.
