Receta Roasted Tomato Carrot Soup is A Favorite on Passover
It's Passover, the beginning of spring, and still a little chilly . What should I eat?
As usual we ate heavy food and too much of it at the two Passover Seders.
With 6 more days of Passover eating, I'm looking for lighter healthier meals.
My Roasted tomato carrot soup is perfect. With just 3 major ingredients, it is rich in color, nutrients, and flavor. It takes about 5 minutes to prep the vegetables, 25 minutes to roast them, and 3 minutes to blend the roasted veggies with some vegetable broth. Of course this soup is naturally gluten free as are all of my recipes.
The delicious soup stands well alone or it can be topped with grated mozzarella cheese or mixed with 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Either way the soup tastes creamy, provides ample protein, and lots of antioxidants.
It's mild flavor is appealing to both children and adults. For an extra kick, you can spice it up with some hot sauce.
Roasted vegetable soups are quick and easy to make, nourishing, light, and very tasty. This tomato carrot soup couldn't be easier and is a great starter for a light dinner, especially on Passover.
Personally, I see no reason to rely on packaged prepared foods on Passover- they are full of chemicals, additives, and matzo meal . There are so many choices that are strictly kosher for Passover using vegetables, fruit, and proteins. ( see some recipes below)

My Notes:
1. When I roast vegetables, I usually take them our of the oven half way and spray them with additional olive oil to keep them from getting to dry.
2. Each recipe makes one large bowl of soup or 2 cups of soup ; double or triple for more people.
3. This is a great soup to make if you plant cherry tomatoes in the summer and have a ton of them.
4. There is no need to buy canned or boxed prepared foods on Passover when there are so many whole food recipes that are are strictly kosher.
