This warm and hearty bowl Of Spiced Apple Carrot Soup is calling out soup lovers! Its easy, gets ready in less than 30 minutes and satisfying. Being vegan and gluten free this soup fits into almost all diets.
It’s getting cooler here in Seattle and the sky is mostly grey and once in a while the sun peeks out from the clouds for a short time. With the days shorter and nights cooler I can only think of a bowl of warm soup. Since its October and fall is at its peak the first ingredient that came to my mind was apples.
I love those red juicy apples in this season because they are the best right now and when I blended the apples in a spiced carrot soup it was mind blowing.
If you remember my spicy carrot amaranth soup and apple pumpkin soup with caramelized onions, the spice ingredients in them and the aroma of those soups……this Spiced Apple Carrot Soup reminds me of them.

It was comforting to indulge into this soup after a long tiring day, snuggling inside the blanket, house smelling of spiced candles and watching our favorite show, it was a perfect weeknight. A bowl of Spiced Apple Carrot Soup satisfied our tummies and brought so much deliciousness to our home.

Carrots. Apples. And Cheese? That sounds nothing short of delicious. I have never had a soup like this, but really want to try it! Have you made it in a crockpot before?
Gunjan says
HAHAHA! the topping looks like cheese but it isn’t. Its julienned carrots. Looks great right? Thank you 🙂

Mmmm!! Apples and carrots-I had no idea!! But, I have honestly developed this whole new love of carrots I never had before, and it’s awesome! The other day, I drank an orange carrot juice, made with mostly carrots, and it was so deliciously tasty, so I know apples and carrots will go together just as well. And the temperatures are finally dropping low enough for soup! Thanks for sharing <3
