Four ingredients: Carrots, sweet potatoes, onions and cumin. A cube of Maggi bouillon or some chicken stock, a ladle of cream and you’ve got yourself a creamy bowl of soup you will inhale.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound of yellow onions
- 1 pound of carrots
- 1/2 pound of sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup of whipping cream
- 1 cube of chicken stock or 1 quart of the real thing
- 1 tbsp of ground cumin (or more, to taste)
- salt, to taste
METHOD:
- Chop the onions, peel the carrots and chop and peel the sweet potatoes and chop; heat a few tablespoons of olive oil or butter and fry the onions till golden; add the carrots and sweet potatoes and fry as well for a few minutes; add the cumin and fry a few seconds longer.
- Pour on the veggies all of 6 cups of water or chicken stock; add a bouillon cube if adding water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes or so. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture, add the cream, simmer a few minutes longer, taste to season and serve warm.

A marvelous combination! This soup would be welcome now with the Siberian cold we are experiencing.
Cheers,

I agree with Rosa. The combination of ingredients in this soup is “marvelous”. I wonder how it would taste with a dollop of Mascarpone added as well. You never ever disappoint with your recipes and photos. Always a pleasure to visit and, oh, I’m so making this soup!
One of my favorites – I actually find that often the cream isn’t even necessary, as the combination of vegetables creates a richness all its own.
Love the simplicity, beauty, and nutrition. Looks so satisfying and tasty.
MMmmm.. I love a good bowl of comforting soup
A perfect dish for these cold days…have a good week…
We are on the same wavelength, made a carrot soup (my first actually) just the other evening!
Oh yes – a thousand times yes! I will inhale this! And be warmed to my tip-toes.
salut joumana il fait tellement froid en ce moment à paris que ce serait bien agréable d’avoir une soupe !!Bizz parisienne !!pierre
I know I would inhale this luscious bowl of soup! Marvelous warm and creamy flavors.
Joumana, this looks so creamy and delicious. I love your addition of cumin! I’ve made carrot potato soup before, but never with sweet potato. I will have to try that soon.
What an excellent combination… and I love that hit of cumin!
This is similar to my pumpkin soup recipe but I love the addition of carrots. I must try that next time. This is simple, warming, delicious winter comfort eating at its best!
Super combination! Easy to make and comforting. Love the creamy soft color, too.
Joumana, I love that a soup so simple to make could have such depth of flavor. I’ve tried this also using a roasted apple and pumpkin wedge, delicious!
Carrot and sweet potatoes…I love the sweetness of this soup. Looks great, so creamy!
Hope you are having a wonderful week Joumana
Soup looks delicious! Perfect for this weather.
That looks really warming and comforting – perfect for the weather we have here at the moment. A shame we can’t get sweet potatoes here! May have to substitute them for squash.
