FAQS

  1. How can I make carrot soup vegan or vegetarian?

    To make this carrot soup vegan or vegetarian, simply substitute the chicken stock with vegetable stock. Additionally, replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or omit it altogether for a lighter soup.

  2. What are some good substitutions for ingredients in carrot soup?

    If you don't have cumin, you can use coriander or a pinch of nutmeg for a different flavor profile. For the potato, you can substitute with sweet potato or even butternut squash for added sweetness. If you prefer a creamier texture, consider adding coconut milk instead of yogurt.

  3. How should I store leftover carrot soup?

    Leftover carrot soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container.

  4. What can I pair with carrot soup for a complete meal?

    Carrot soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh salad. You could also serve it alongside a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting meal. For a more filling option, consider adding a protein like chickpeas or grilled chicken on the side.
