Ingredients
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
3 to 4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper or black pepper, or to taste
Directions
Bring 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped carrots to the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes more, until the carrots are very tender.
Carefully transfer the cooked vegetables and cooking liquid to a blender (work in batches if needed). Blend until completely smooth, adding more water during blending if the mixture is too thick.
Pour the blended soup back into the pot and warm over low heat if needed.
Season with salt and crushed red pepper or black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve hot.
Comments
This stripped-down soup hits every Charlotte advantage: carrots and tomatoes are year-round staples at every chain from ALDI to Publix, and a two-serving batch costs under three dollars total. The stated 35 minutes is honest—roughly ten for prep and twenty-five simmering—and the simplicity means zero fussy technique. The only caveat is that soup doesn't reheat brilliantly if you store it, so plan this as a same-night meal or accept some texture softening on the second day.
