•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Put carrots, onions, sweet potato, garlic, and parsley in a large stock pot; add enough water to cover.
Cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir vegetable broth, tomato paste, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika into vegetable mixture; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Blend soup with a stick blender until smooth. Or pour soup into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
