Step 1
Put the carrots, onion, vegetable broth, and cilantro into a big pot. Bring everything to a boil, then let it simmer until the carrots are nice and tender—this usually takes about 10 minutes. Once the veggies are soft, take the pot off the heat and give it a few minutes to cool down a bit.
Step 2
Blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. You can use a blender or a food processor for this part. If the soup has cooled too much, just warm it up again before serving. Enjoy!
What To Serve With This Dish
