RECIPE: TOMATO CARROT SOUP
Tomato Carrot Soup
Tomato Carrot Soup is an easy to make, delicious, creamy soup. Doesn’t require many ingredients and the best part is that you can either roast the ingredients or simply stir fry and cook them in a pot. If I’m not time constrained then I prefer to roast the tomatoes, carrots, onion and garlic. If I want a soup in a jiffy then I simply saute the ingredients in a pan with some oil or butter. After adding the water or stock allow it cook for a bit and puree.
Tomato Carrot Soup
I’m a huge fan of tomato soup and can have it practically everyday. In fact I make a huge batch and keep some in the fridge to take care of hunger pangs. Did you know that having a cup of soup helps to curb hunger? Also cuts down on the meal portion you normally would have. While ready made tomato soups are slightly acidic, which I don’t like, homemade soups allows you to control what you add to it. To cut down on the tanginess and to add some creaminess without the cream I like to add carrots too.
Some Soup Recipes you can sip on
- Moong Dal Shorba/ Moong Dal Soup – a creamy soup made from moong dal and coconut milk.
- Using whole green moong and celery leaves, Moong and Celery Leaves Soup is creamy, delicious and filling.
- Adding a bit of curried chickpeas makes Cauliflower and Chickpea Soup interesting and flavorful.
- Corn Potato Cheddar Soup – another creamy and yummy soup with cheddar cheese added for that creaminess and taste.
- Shorbat Adas or Middle Eastern Lentil Soup with warm spices is creamy and filling. Its made from split Puy or lentils, the orange one.
- Roasted Pepper Soup – I’m totally amazed how bell peppers can be turned into a super delicious soup. Go on check out the recipe.
- Roasted Pumpkin & Salsa Soup – just a bit of salsa topping on the soup makes its delish.
- Butternut Squash Soup with a bit of chilli powder is a delightful soup to sip on during the cold season.
- My other favourite soup is a creamy Mushroom Soup, smooth, silky and delightful.
- Carrot Soup with some spices and sour cream or yogurt is a comforting soup to sip on.
- Beetroot Tomato Soup creamy, naturally sweet with flavors of ginger and garlic.
- Leek Potato Soup – an easy to make classic soup
- Broccoli Soup – smooth, creamy and with almond flakes tastes really good.
- Renu’s Carrot Beetroot and Horse Gram Sprouts Soup is comforting and nutritious. Love how she has added horse gram sprouts which are so healthy.

Tomato and carrot soup looks so vibrant. A perfect soup to enjoy during cold days. Tomato gives tanginess to the soup whereas carrot balances the sweetness..

I can’t restrain myself from saying that this is one of the simple yet delicious soup recipe I have ever come across. Roasting veggies in oven must be adding much flavours to the soup. Going to try it some day for sure.

I am so looking forward to the month of Dec when Mumbai experiences winters and make myself bowls of these for dinner. The carrot gives a lovely colour to the otherwise delicious tomato soup and natural sweetness too but I still go ahead and add some jaggery and happily gobble it down with a dash of pepper.

My favorite soup and I don’t add jaggery at all. Love the tangy and slightly sweet taste.

Thank you so much Archana, I go through phases when I want to have soups only for dinner. The hot weather is not a deterrent.

I too love tomato soup. Adding carrots not only gives a good texture but makes it healthier too. Sometimes, I add a little beet too. Your soup looks flavoursome.

Thank you Jayashree, I sometimes make a tomato beet soup too. All depends on what ingredients I have at hand.

Roasting the vegetable is such a great idea to make the soup. Love the flavor of roasted tomato soup. I have not tried using carrots yet and I will add a couple next time when I make it.

Thanks Sandhya, roasted veggies just taste so different. Also the carrots add a natural sweetness to balance the tanginess.

I make tomato and carrot soup often, but our pressure cooker way. Never roasted it , do that with butternut squash. I will try this version next time and yes with the addition of onion too.

Thanks Renu, try the roasted one.. like me you may stop using the pressure cooker to make soups.

This soup must have been truly delicious! I love a roasted soup more than one cooked on top of the stove, since it gives an additional layer of flavor altogether… Beautiful clicks…

Thank you so much Rafeeda, I too prefer roasting the vegetables for soups whenever possible.

I have tried carrot and tomato soup separately but never thought of making it together. This soup is apt for a cold winter night as a hearty meal.

Thank you Sapana, I usually combine other veggies with tomatoes for variation.

This is my go-to recipe on those cold winter days, and those addition of croutons makes it heavenly, I have to stop myself from adding lots of those in the soup 🙂
mayurisjikoni
January 3, 2022 at 9:44 pm
Thank you so much Bhavana. I too love adding croutons and can load the soup with too much. I usually bake the croutons rather than frying them.
