Roasted Carrot and Swede Soup

This creamy roasted carrot and swede soup is so easy, healthy, and comforting. It’s dairy-free and made without a stove or pot, too! It’s perfect for anytime you feel like a cozy bowl of soup!

Like carrots? You’re going to love this creamy vegan SWEDE AND CARROT SOUP recipe! It’s luxuriously creamy and full of incredible roasted carrot flavor.

Firstly, this isn’t your ordinary soup. Rather than boiling everything on the stovetop, we are roasting the vegetables instead. I’m telling you, roasting the vegetables works wonders in this soup recipe! It intensifies the flavours and results in a super tasty soup.

You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that this creamy soup is actually made without cream. It’s super allergen friendly, healthy, and not to mention budget-friendly, too. The ingredients are all Whole30, gluten-free, nut-free and vegan. I love serving mine with a drizzle of coconut milk and a slice of toasted sourdough or crusty bread. It’s so cozy. It’s so easy to make and the leftovers taste even better the next day!

How to make carrot and swede soup

It’s SO easy to make this creamy roasted vegetable soup at home – I promise.

Start by preheating your oven to 200C/ 400F.

Next, prepare the vegetables. Cut the carrots and swede into ½″ thick cubes and cut the onion into quarters.

Place cubed carrots, swede, onions and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet and toss in olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the oven for 30-40 minutes, tossing halfway.

Remove everything from the oven and squeeze the garlic out of their skins and discard the onion skins. Add the vegetable broth, roasted vegetables, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to a high-speed blender (I use a vitamix). Blend for a couple minutes, until smooth.

Adjust seasonings as desired and serve! I love to add a sprinkling of roasted pumpkin seeds, fresh coriander (cilantro) and a slice of toasted sourdough. 

This would also taste fabulous with a chilled cheese sandwich 😉

Recipe modifications & variations

While this carrot soup tastes great as is, here are some ideas for how you can modify it:

• Curry: This might be my favorite option. Simply add some Indian curry powder at the end when blending the soup together. Carrots and warming curry spices are a perfect match. You can also add some freshly grated ginger to this variation, if you’d like
• Protein boost: You can easily boost the protein content of this recipe in two different ways. Either by adding a can of cannellini beans when blending everything together. Or alternatively you can add top each bowl with some roasted chickpeas.  Both are delicious 🙂 
• Different veggies: If you feel like experimenting, you could try adding different vegetables to this soup too. Something like roasted butternut pumpkin, parsnips, leeks, celery, etc. could work well!

How to store and reheat soup

Leftovers of this swede carrot soup can be kept in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for 3-5 days. To keep for longer, soup can be frozen for up to 6 months.

To reheat, simply warm it up on the stovetop or in the microwave! Be sure to stir soup to evenly distribute the heat.

Serving suggestions

Treat this creamy carrot soup as a side dish. It would go particularly well with a grilled cheese sandwich, poached chicken, roasted chickpeas or hearty salads. It’s a versatile soup to keep in your repertoire.
