Carrot Soup Recipe with Roasted Chickpeas

Written by Becky

Josh and I both love soups, especially creamy comforting soups like this Carrot Soup, and the more toppings the better! All winter long we’re pureeing our favorite vegetables to make creamy-creamless soups… all you need for this is a good blender or immersion blender.

It’s actually super easy to turn carrots, garlic, onions, with a few spices and vegetable broth into a thick creamy soup! Then once you have the base, pick out a handful of toppings to add more substance to the soup… our favorite is roasted chickpeas and greek yogurt. You can also use this soup recipe and just switch up the vegetable – try broccoli, parsnips, potatoes, or cauliflower.

Besides eating soup this winter, Josh and I have been soaking in every new change Everett is experiencing. He began crawling backwards about a month or so ago, which meant that he would get himself stuck in corners or underneath tables and chairs quite often. Frustrating as that was, it was also kind of cute to find him under the crib smiling. For his sake, we’re glad he’s crawling forward now, and even pulling himself up on things. He’s strong and I’m sure will be standing and walking in no time.

Everett also loves to crawl to where ever Henry is and pull his tail or pet him. And when he’s eating he always shares a few bites with Henry, handing him a cheerio or letting him lick his fingers.

Notes

*you can also just use plain greek yogurt but we like to spice ours up to serve with soups. We usually add whatever herbs we have on hand - parsley, mint, cilantro, dill and a big squeeze of lemon juice. For this soup the greek yogurt is good with lemon juice and chopped parsley.

  7. Hi, Pinterest brought me here with this carrot soup. We also are great fans of soups, even in the summer, and this one with the roasted chickpeas is very tempting. I will make it very soon to warm us as it is still very cold in Quebec! Thank you, your blog is very interesting.
