Carrot soup with caraway oil
6 servings
30 minutes
Carrot soup with cumin oil is a harmony of the sweet notes of carrots, the warming spice of cumin, and a delicate creamy texture. This recipe is inspired by European culinary traditions that value the balance of flavors and the naturalness of ingredients. The aromatic cumin oil added to the finished soup reveals its flavor depth, giving the dish noble sharpness and softness. A light citrus hint from orange juice refreshes it and makes it even more refined. This soup is perfect for cool evenings when you want to warm up and enjoy a cozy home atmosphere. It is served hot with pieces of fragrant cumin oil that slowly melt, filling each spoonful with rich flavor.
