This soup is a favorite at my house. Fall is a great time to make this soup cold summer afternoon, and this warm soup is just the perfect afternoon. Our vegetable garden has turned out, and this soup is both a callback celebration to the end of summer as well as the start of fall, my favorite season.
The carrot is the main ingredient in this easy recipe, along with a few staples that you likely already have in your kitchen. Adding the turmeric brings a nice boost of flavor to this super-simple, delicious vegetarian soup that's not too thick.
There are versions of the soup with coconut cream and cashew cream, but I like this simple version. This easy soup recipe is just a few ingredients, and it's so simple and delicious with no cream, no cashew cream, and no coconut cream (ok just a tad for garnish, but it's not necessary). The creamy base of the soup comes purely from the pureed carrots.
The thickness of the soup can be adjusted with the amount of water you add to the blending process. You can serve this soup with a salad or grilled cheese sandwich for a quick and easy lunch.

4-5 cups water or vegetable broth 3 heaping cups of shopped carrots
