It’s time to crack out the tupperware and make some room in your freezer…this Maple Roasted Carrot Soup is an absolute dream to batch-cook. Thick and hearty, it’ll warm you right up on chillier days.
To get the most intense, deliciously sweet flavour from our carrots, we’ve oven-roasted them until soft and golden in a glaze of maple syrup, before they’re blended with the rest of our gorgeous ingredients.
While we’ve stirred in plenty of punchy ginger and chilli to turn things up a notch, there’s nothing to stop you turning down the heat if you’d prefer a milder soup. Simply add less or more to suit your taste buds!
Our top tip? When your soup is smooth and piping hot, don’t forget to serve with a slice or two of wholemeal bread – there’s no better way to wipe your bowl clean.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Step 2
Scatter the carrots onto a baking tray and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Place in the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, until the carrots are just soft and browning at the edges.
Step 3
Drizzle over the maple syrup and season well with a good pinch of salt. Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. The carrots should be tender, golden and sticky.
Step 4
Spray a saucepan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over a medium heat. Add the onions and gently fry for 6-8 minutes until golden and soft.
Step 5
Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for another minute.
Step 6
When the carrots are cooked, add them to the pan, along with the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle.
Step 7
Remove from the heat and carefully blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper, if required. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little extra water until it reaches a consistency you like.
Step 8
Serve and enjoy with a slice of crusty bread!
