Roasted Carrot Saffron Soup

Foodify Challenge #3
Roasted Carrot Saffron Soup | Kicking Back the Pebbles

If you’ve been following Kicking Back the Pebbles for a while, you must remember me talking time and again about Foodify—the foodie Facebook group that I’m a proud administrator of, along with five more fellow bloggers. Foodify has not only allowed us to creatively express ourselves and practice our skills but also to interact with really talented people from several countries around the globe, form friendships, collaborate with foodie bloggers, participate in interesting blogging events & games (check them out here & here), and grow our brands and sites together. 

So, as fall is drawing in more each day, it is high time for a new event to inspire our members’ creativity and help enjoy the season in our kitchens. So I’m more than excited to bring to you our…

Foodify Fall Soup Challenge

Recipes must include a seasonal veggie and/or legumes and not exceed 6 total ingredients except for salt & pepper. The event will be open until Tuesday, October 27th, so please make sure you check back here again since I will be updating this post, as members publish their recipes, to link to every participant. (Scroll down to the end of the post to peek at them all.) Here’s what I whipped up:

Roasted Carrot Saffron Soup

Print Recipe
Prep Time 1 hr
Cook Time 20 mins
Total Time 1 hr 20 mins
Course Soup
Cuisine French
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Food processor or immersion hand blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium onions diced
  • 1 ½ tsp saffron threads
  • 6 cups vegetable broth (1500 ml)
  • ½ cup light cream or soy cream (125 ml)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • Toss carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt & pepper in a large bowl. Make sure they are coated well. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed cookie sheet and bake until tender and brown in spots (about 30+ minutes).
  • Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they begin to caramelize (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Add the saffron and the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, reduce the heat, cover the pot and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat completely and let cool down.
  • Working with a blender in batches, puree the soup and return it to the pot, or use an immersion blender directly in it. In either case, make sure your soup has cooled enough to safely puree.
  • Place the pureed soup over low heat and stir in the light cream. Taste and add additional salt & pepper if desired. Serve.

Βελούδινη σούπα με ψητά καρότα & σαφράν

Athina
Print Recipe
Prep Time 1 hr
Cook Time 20 mins
Course Σούπες
Cuisine Γαλλική
Servings 4 μερίδες

Equipment

  • Μπλέντερ ή ραβδομπλέντερ χειρός

Ingredients
  

  • 700 γραμ. καρότα ξεφλουδισμένα και κομμένα σε μέτρια κομμάτια (5 εκ. περίπου)
  • 2 κουταλιές της σούπας ελαιόλαδο έξτρα παρθένο
  • 2 μέτρια κρεμμύδια ψιλοκομμένα
  • 1 ½ κουταλάκι του γλυκού σαφράν νήμα (αν χρησιμοποιήσετε σκόνη μειώστε σε ½ κ.γ.)
  • 1500 ml ζωμό λαχανικών
  • ½ φλιτζάνι κρέμα γάλακτος ή κρέμα σόγιας

Instructions
 

  • Προθερμαίνετε το φούρνο στους 200 °C.
  • Σε ένα μεγάλο μπολ ανακατεύετε τα καρότα με τη 1 κουταλιά ελαιόλαδο, αλάτι και πιπέρι. Αφού σιγουρευτείτε ότι τα καρότα σας έχουν καλυφθεί ομοιόμορφα με λάδι και αλατοπίπερο, τα απλώνετε σε χαμηλό αντικολλητικό ταψί και τα ψήνετε μέχρι να μαλακώσουν και να αρχίσουν να κάνουν καφέ σημάδια σαν να έχουν καψαλιστεί στη σχάρα – θα σας πάρει περίπου 30+ λεπτά.
  • Σε μία μεγάλη κατσαρόλα ζεσταίνετε το υπόλοιπο ελαιόλαδο (1 κουταλιά της σούπας) και μαγειρεύετε τα κρεμμύδια σε μέτρια φωτιά μέχρι να μαλακώσουν και να «γυαλίσουν» (περίπου 8-10 λεπτά).
  • Προσθέτετε το σαφράν και το ζωμό λαχανικών και δυναμώνετε λίγο τη θερμοκρασία για να αρχίσει το βράσιμο. 
  • Ρίχνετε τα καρότα που έχετε βγάλει από το φούρνο, χαμηλώνετε ξανά τη φωτιά και αφήνετε τη σούπα να σιγοβράσει με κλειστό καπάκι, για άλλα 10 λεπτά.
  • Σβήνετε τη φωτιά, βγάζετε την κατσαρόλα από το μάτι και αφήνετε λιγάκι να κρυώσει. Στη συνέχεια πολτοποιείτε σε μπλέντερ δουλεύοντας σε δόσεις ή με ραβδομπλέντερ κατευθείαν μέσα στην κατσαρόλα. Είναι σημαντικό να έχει πέσει αρκετά η θερμοκρασία – ένα από τα συνηθέστερα ατυχήματα στην κουζίνα, είναι τα εγκαύματα όταν πολτοποιούμε σούπες!
  • Βάζετε ξανά τη σούπα σε χαμηλή φωτιά για λίγα λεπτά και προσθέτετε την κρέμα γάλακτος. Δοκιμάζετε εάν χρειάζεται επιπλέον αλάτι & πιπέρι. Μπορείτε να σερβίρετε με σπιτικά κρουτόν ή κριτσίνια.

Εάν ακολουθείτε το Kicking Back the Pebbles για κάποιο διάστημα, είναι σίγουρο πως θα έχετε διαβάσει αρκετές φορές για το Foodify: ένα food group στο Facebook που δημιουργήσαμε με φίλους μπλόγκερ, με κοινό μας σημείο την αγάπη για το καλό φαγητό και τη μαγειρική. Επιθυμία μας ήταν να κάνουμε κάτι καταρχάς διασκεδαστικό, που θα αποτελούσε έμπνευση για περισσότερες δημιουργίες στις κουζίνες μας και καλύτερες δημοσιεύσεις στα μπλογκ μας.

Κάτι που κάνουμε συχνά για να κερδίζουμε το ενδιαφέρον των μελών μας, να τα εμπνέουμε και να τα προκαλούμε σε νέες γαστριμαργικές δημιουργίες είναι να διοργανώνουμε διαδικτυακά παιχνίδια (μπορείτε να ρίξετε μια ματιά σε μερικά από τα event που έχουμε οργανώσει κατά καιρούς εδώ & εδώ). Αυτή την εποχή, μιας και φθινοπώριασε πια αρκετά αποφασίσαμε να παίξουμε με σούπες! Σούπες με εποχικά υλικά, φυσικά, ενώ η πρόκληση ήταν να χρησιμοποιήσουμε μόνο 6 (με εξαίρεση το αλατοπίπερο). Κάπως έτσι δημιουργήθηκε η Βελούδινη σούπα μου με ψητά καρότα & σαφράν ενώ παρακάτω θα βρείτε link και για τις υπέροχες συνταγές των υπόλοιπων συμμετεχόντων.


Listed below, you will find the recipes from the rest of the bloggers participating in the event:

    The simplicity of your soup is amazing and I’m sure that roasting the carrots improved the flavor very much. I have to try your soup!

    λατρεύω τις σούπες και εσύ πήγες την καροτόσουπα ένα βήμα πιο πέρα προσθέτοντας το σαφράν!
    τέλεια!

      Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Εύη! Ταιριάζει πραγματικά πολύ το σαφράν αλλά βρίσκω ότι παίζει ρόλο στη γεύση και το καψάλισμα των καρότων στο φούρνο. Ελπίζω να τη δοκιμάσεις και να μου πεις εντυπώσεις. 🙂

In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, an old woman bakes a gingerbread man, who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but are unable to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm characters in repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast for the tale's effect. Each time he escapes, he chants a list of those he has steered clear of and bets he can avoid the next character too: “I've run away from a little old man, a little old man and the old lady, and I can run away from you—I can!”
