Prep Time
This soup is incredibly easy to make and will take you no time at all to prepare. All you need to do is gather the ingredients, which should take no more than 10 minutes. You can also prepare the vegetables ahead of time if you like. Once the ingredients are all ready to go, you can just throw them in the crock pot and let it do the work for you.
Cook Time
This soup will take about 4 hours to cook on low in the crock pot. You can also cook it on high for 2 hours if you need to speed up the cooking process. Once the soup is finished cooking, you can let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool and thicken. Then, you can serve the soup with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
2. Add the carrots, broth, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to the crock pot. Stir to combine and cover. Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
3. Once the carrots are tender, turn off the crock pot and let the soup cool for about 10 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning to taste.
4. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings. Serve warm.
Equipment
For this soup, you will need a crock pot, a large skillet, an immersion blender and a ladle.
Notes
This soup is vegan if you use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also use canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream for a vegan version. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can also use a regular blender and puree the soup in batches.

Recipe Tips
To make this soup even more flavorful, you can add a few tablespoons of freshly grated ginger or a splash of balsamic vinegar. You can also add other vegetables such as celery, potatoes or sweet potatoes. Try adding a few tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for an extra boost of flavor.
If you want a thicker soup, you can add a few tablespoons of cornstarch or flour to the soup before pureeing. For a creamier soup, you can add some extra heavy cream or coconut milk. You can also add some cooked pasta or rice for a heartier soup.
