Roasted Carrot Soup

Submitted by Saguaro

"The sweetness of roasted carrots is complimented nicely by some heat from ginger and cayenne. Like most soups and stews, this tastes better if made ahead and reheated."

A pretty coloured warming soup, but bland for our taste. I will make it again but with some minced garlic, cumin, a abit of black pepper and maybe a pinch of tyme. Thank you for the recipe

I needed a recipe to use up copious garden harvest of baby carrots and a soup was in order to warm the bones. We all enjoyed this soup.
