You're going to roast carrots low and slow until they're tender, then blend them with potatoes and squash into a silky, creamy soup. The roasting can be done ahead of time, which makes this recipe super flexible—just peel and blend everything together when you're ready, then finish with crispy carrot ribbons and toasted bread crumbles on top.

Tip:
Feel free to roast the carrots a day ahead. Roasted carrots also freeze well, so once you fall for this soup, you won't have to roast them from scratch every single time.

Roast the carrots
Arrange whole carrots in a roasting dish. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter garlic cloves around them, unpeeled. You can also add fresh herbs – lovage or parsley work beautifully. Cover with a lid.
