Healing Roasted Carrot Soup

 

🥕 Healing Roasted Carrot Soup (Using Leftover Party Veggies!)

Every year after holiday parties, I end up with way too many leftover vegetables — especially baby carrots. Instead of letting them go limp in the fridge, I decided to turn a big bag of them into the most warming, cozy, nutrient-packed soup. Even better, it’s a perfect fit for anyone on a Real Food Recovery journey who wants high-fiber nourishment without added junk.

This soup uses only whole, single-ingredient foods: carrots, peppers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, broth, and olive oil. Roasting everything at a high heat caramelizes the natural sugars and deepens the flavor so you get a creamy, restaurant-quality soup without needing cream, flour, or thickeners.

Why This Soup Helps You Feel Your Best

   •   Carrots provide beta-carotene for immune and skin health.

   •   Bell peppers and tomatoes add vitamin C, antioxidants, and natural sweetness.

   •   Onion and garlic support gut health and natural detox pathways.

   •   Ginger soothes digestion and inflammation.

   •   High fiber helps stabilize blood sugar — huge for people recovering from ultra-processed food habits.
