18 Smooth Carrot Soup Recipes

I always keep a bag of carrots in my fridge. They’re cheap, they last a long time, and they’re the perfect start to a smooth, comforting soup. When I blend cooked carrots, they turn into the creamiest texture, even without adding any cream.

These soups are my favorite way to make a simple, nutritious meal that feels a little special. They are easy, reliable, and always taste good.

Here are 18 of my favorite smooth carrot soup recipes.
