Golden Roasted Carrot Soup

About the Recipe:  Roasting the carrots gives the soup a sweet flavor. Golden potatoes enhance the gold color and smooth texture. The bright taste brings you a fresh-from-the-garden feeling. Top off the soup with some grated pepper cheese.

Prepare Carrot Soup: Place oil in large hot soup pot; add onion and celery; sauté to soften; add garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes.  Stir in roasted carrots and drippings. Add 5 cups broth and potato chunks, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium/low; cover; cook until potatoes are softened, about 25 minutes. Puree soup with a hand blender until smooth. Add additional broth as needed.

Simmer about 10 minutes to combine flavors.

To Serve: Ladle soup into small bowls; sprinkled with grated pepper cheese.  Yield: 6 cups

Serves: 4 to 6
