Roasted Carrot, Fennel and Apple Soup

November 9, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Friday to you!!  So glad the weekend is here!  I am hoping to relax and just chill out!  I have been feeling so under the weather this week.  My Husband thinks I’m getting anxiety attacks, which I don’t understand why?  I feel fine, than when I come home from work, my heart starts to race and I get the shakes.  I know it’s not coffee and I know it’s not lunch, so what is it?  My Husband thinks I am putting too much pressure on myself from blogging, wanting to exercise and weight issues.  I don’t think those are my issues.  If it was, I’d think about it!  I have my normal routine when I get home and it has worked for over a year.  I guess I’ll take it day by day and see how I feel.  But one thing that does always make me feel better whether you have anxiety, sick or just want to feel good is soup!!

Every two weeks, I get a box from the CSA and I love to be surprised with what I am going to get.  For the past few times I have gotten carrots, carrots and more carrots!  I said please, no more carrots!!  Guess what I got?  Carrots!!!  But in this weeks package there was a recipe for Roasted Carrot, Fennel and Apple Soup, which sounded so yummy to me!  I figured had a bazillion carrots, it must have been meant to be!   It takes a little bit of time to make, but it’s so worth it.


For the soup, I roasted the carrots, fennel and apple together, then placed them in a pot, added some salt, chicken broth and a pinch of ground ginger.  Mmmm, perfect!  I honestly was afraid the soup was going to have a licorice taste because of the fennel, but it didn’t!  It was creamy, slightly sweet and slightly peppery.  It is a wonderful combination and very filling!!!

Do you like my new Soup Bowls?  I got them from Uncommon Goods.  These bowls are hand crafted by Brian Knunkelman from Pennsylvania!  I thought it was pretty cool and unique to have a one of a kind soup bowl!  The bowl has a pocket for crackers and a handle to hold.  I can so see myself holding one of these bowls as I’m snuggled in my blanket on the couch watching a movie!  For me, I didn’t have crackers with my soup, but decided on my Cranberry Walnut Rolls, since to me it seemed perfect, since I topped my soup with goat cheese and dried cranberries!!

My Husband on the other hand doesn’t like all the foo foo stuff in his soup, so he had to have oyster crackers with it!!  The man can drown any soup with oyster crackers.  Basically he has a bowl of crackers with a little bit of soup!!  He loved his new manly silver toned bowl and I took the purple!  Actually he took his new bowl with the handle and ran to the TV, as he left me in the kitchen.  He loved the idea of having his crackers readily available   Not saying he didn’t pour half a box in the soup!

This was the first time I ever had carrot soup and I will be sure to make it again, on the other hand to be honest, my Husband wasn’t to keen on it.  He said it tasted like squash to him.  He sees orange and automatically thinks squash or sweet potatoes.   I think this soup would be perfect as an appetizer soup before serving a holiday meal!!

On with the new bowls, as I was using them, you know what I thought of a great use for them would be?  Peanut Butter!  Yes a big bowl of peanut butter and I could put cut up apples in place of the cracker spot.  I think that’s a pretty cool idea and you know what?  I have a new PB recipe I am going to make this weekend!!  he he I can’t wait!

I was given these soup bowls from Uncommon Goods to review, and I have been very happy with them and all of their products.  If your interested in seeing what other goodies and unique Christmas items, totally check out them out here.  Can you believe Black Friday is less than two weeks away!!  Ahhhh!!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Soup always calms me down…always. Partly because it’s just so comforting and partly because knowing how good it is for me, just makes me happy! This sounds really delicious. I’ve made carrot soup before but never with the fennel and apple. Great additions!

    Those bowls are fantastic. Perfect for this creamy soup. The apple and the fennel sounds wonderful. There was a period of time in my life where I had panic attacks. It’s not fun, but does pass. Once I checked in with my family doctor and was assured there was nothing physically wrong with me, I was able to work through it. Blogging is definitely stressful. Us food bloggers put a lot of pressure on ourselves. 🙂

    This soup sounds really delicious (and looks great in the bowls) – and those cranberry-walnut rolls sound really interesting, too! ^^ I really hope you’re feeling better, though, and taking time for yourself. ^^

    Your soup looks delicious. Sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well lately! I also have problems with anxiety when too much is going on…sometimes we all just need a break from life!! Get a lot of relaxation this weekend =) Sometimes hiking outdoors or taking a day trip somewhere to just relax really helps me!

    I’ve never made a carrot soup before, but I love the sound of this, especially with the apple. I hope this week is going better for you. I love doing yoga to relax…maybe it would help?

    I saw this in your Thanksgiving Recipe list and had to take a look. I love the idea of the fennel, carrot, and apple combo, that sounds right up my alley. And as for your husband, so what if it is like squash? That would be good, too? Hope he comes around on his veggies.

      Hi, I almost forgot about this soup. I love the combo of apple and fennel together. I am so glad that you liked it. I think I’ll make a batch for my lunches too. 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
