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 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.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?
