October 17, 2020. Sunny and cool. Quick & Easy Tomato Carrot Soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my daughter was young and playing softball, we enjoyed stopping by the local Panera Bread to eat a lovely bowl of hot tomato soup after practice. It was always creamy, thick and delicious! And sopping up the last bit of soup with one of their freshly baked baguette slices was always a treat. My daughter enjoys eating cherry tomatoes, so liking the soup wasn\u2019t a big leap. But I was very surprised that her little brother simply adores it too! In addition to the usual Mac and Cheese, this is his preferred item to order on the menu.

After eating so many bowls (and probably gallons) of this lovely soup, I decided to make my version at home! I love knowing exactly what goes into the soup and customizing it to suit my taste. On top of that, I usually make a large pot so we\u2019ll have leftovers for another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This healthy, delicious soup is quick and easy to make with items probably already in your pantry and fridge. The key is the sweet carrots that balance the sometimes more vinegary tomatoes. Instead of using all fresh tomatoes, I add a large can of peeled tomatoes to really thicken up the soup. Caramelized onions and garlic add depth while dried herbs balance things out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is the soup can be made under an hour. A perfect dish to ward off the cold weather and feed hungry kids! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
