How to Make Carrot Potato Soup

Peel and cut the carrots and potatoes into small pieces so they cook faster.

In a large pot, heat some olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the carrots, potatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Then pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.

Then stir in the cream or cheese spread for a rich and velvety texture.

Tips for recipe

• Cut the veggies small – smaller pieces cook faster and blend more easily.
• Season after blending – the flavor is easier to adjust once the texture is smooth.
• Add liquid if needed – if the soup is too thick, pour in a bit more broth or milk for a creamy texture.
• Blend well – use an immersion blender for a silky, lump-free carrot potato soup.

Variations

• With cheese – add grated cheese or cream cheese for extra richness.
• With herbs and spices – try thyme, cumin, or curry for a new flavor twist.
• Dairy-free – skip the cream and use coconut milk or almond milk instead.
• Chunky style – keep a few pieces of carrot and potato unblended for texture.
