Ingredients

  • 700 grams carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 220 grams red bell peppers, deseeded and quartered
  • 100 grams leek, trimmed, washed, and chopped
  • 15 grams garlic cloves (about 3 cloves), peeled
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 liter vegetable stock (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 10 grams olive oil (about 2 teaspoons)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Peel and chop the carrots, quarter the red peppers, and chop the leeks. Place all vegetables and garlic on a baking tray.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle fennel seeds, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add vegetable stock and blend until smooth. For a chunkier texture, pulse instead of fully blending.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Pour the soup into a saucepan and heat gently until warmed through.
  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with herbs, roasted seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

  • Swap fennel seeds with coriander or cumin for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a swirl of coconut milk for creaminess without dairy.
  • Blend in white beans or red lentils for extra protein and texture.
  • Add a sweet potato with the carrots for extra sweetness and body.
  • Sprinkle smoked paprika before roasting for a smoky twist.
  • Freezes well for up to 3 months; reheat gently and add water if needed to adjust consistency.
