Ingredients

• 900 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 liter vegetable stock
• 150 grams brie cheese
• 60 milliliters heavy cream
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized chunks (approximately 2-3 cm).

Step 3

Place the carrot chunks on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the carrots roast, finely chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 7

Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for 1 minute longer, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once the carrots are roasted, add them to the pot with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable stock and stir to combine.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Meanwhile, remove the rind from the brie cheese and cut it into small pieces.

Step 11

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot.

Step 12

Stir the brie pieces into the hot soup until fully melted and incorporated. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.

Step 13

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 14

Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
