Carrot-Apple Soup

Roasted Carrot-Apple Soup

This recipe from Blendtec is absolutely delicious, quick and easy to make!

I substituted 1 clove of garlic that I had on hand for the onion and instead of the vegetable broth, used 2 cups of water with a yeast free veggie cube. And subbed 1 Tbsp of fresh thyme from the garden. Yum.
