Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 large onion roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves whole and unpeeled
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 litre vegetable or chicken stock
  • 100 ml double cream
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Fresh chives chopped

Method
 

  1. Roast carrots, onion, and whole garlic at 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 6 for 30 minutes.
  2. Squeeze garlic from skins.
  3. Combine roasted vegetables with cumin, ginger, and stock in a pot. Simmer 10 minutes.
  4. Blitz until smooth. Sieve for extra silkiness if desired.
  5. Stir in cream, warm gently without boiling. Season.
  6. Serve with chopped chives.

Notes

Roasting the carrots first is the key step for depth of flavour — don't boil them from raw.
Add cream at the end, off a hard simmer, to avoid splitting.
Freezes well without the cream; stir it in fresh after reheating.
Sieve after blending for a completely smooth, restaurant-style finish.
