SOUP, AND WINE, AND BREAD, OH MY!

GARDEN CARROT SOUP, WINE, AND KITCHEN-BAKED GARLIC BREAD

The weather is finally cool enough that I planned a day of cooking. It certainly helped that the carrots came to harvest from @carondeletgarden, so I was ready to make my creamy carrot soup. The recipe is quite simple and is hardy on a cooler day.

I roasted the carrots, onions, and garlic to give the soup its smoky flavor. The addition of cumin, coriander and paprika along with chicken broth, with the pureed vegetables and cooking time, makes it a quick and easy soup.

I decided to grab a box of pull-apart garlic bread from @kingarthurbaking to accompany the soup.  The Big Guy opened up the wine cooler and selected a bottle of @seanminorwines Nicole Marie Red Blend which finished everything perfectly!  Life is good!
