Nothing says sweater weather better than orangey colors! Soups take over the menu as we prep to get into the chilly winter season.
This may not be pumpkin soup (not there yet), but it is very creamy, hearty, with a harmonious combination of sugar and spice.
It’s a fairly easy recipe, especially since I use canned baby carrots! All you need is chopping skills, a hand blender, and you’re good to go.
Let me know if you try it, tweak it, hate it or love it!

- Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes into cubes.

- Add vegetable stock, mix well.
- Once water starts to boil, cover to simmer. Let simmer on low heat for 15 min.
- Open the pot and check if the potato softened, if they did, add carrots, bring back to a boil and let simmer on low heat for another 5 min.
- Uncover the pot, make sure carrots and potatoes are well cooked. Turn heat off, and with a hand blender blend the mixture really well.
- If not creamy enough, leave on low heat halfway through blending until enough water evaporates.
