Sweet and Spicy Carrot Bisque

By Thepickyeater @pickyeaterblog

I love soups that have layers of complex flavors. Where, in every bite, you taste multiple ingredients with bursts of sweetness and spice.

And while this soup is probably more of a fall soup, I had a ton of leftover carrots in my fridge and I needed to use them up! This recipe was the perfect choice.

It was inspired by a recipe I found in Soup Swap: Comforting Recipes to Make and Share, but I modified it pretty significantly to give it more spice 🙂

This soup is warming, comforting, slightly sweet and super satisfying. The banana and coconut milk add a ton of creaminess without adding actual cream, and the lime brings a bright, citrusy feel to the soup. We served it with a small grilled cheese sandwich made on sprouted wheat bread for some additional protein and fiber.

The husband loved it, and it's super kid friendly too!
