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 Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
