Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste

- 1/2 cup
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Carrots

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped carrots and fresh rosemary. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, or carefully transferring the soup to a regular blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.

- Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes during the sautéing process.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for a rich texture.
- This soup pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty sourdough bread or a fresh garden salad.
