There’s nothing quite like a warm soup to make you feel better, even if you’re not feeling bad.
Soup comes in a variety of different mixtures with plenty of different ingredients. We’re focused on one ingredient though, carrots!
How Long To Cook Carrots In Soup
There are 3 main things that will affect the cooking time of carrots in a soup, the size of the carrot, how much heat is applied, and how long the heat is applied.
Most recipes will call for medium heat to be applied or low heat over a longer time. It’s also recommended to chop them up into bite-sized pieces to reduce cooking time as well as make it easier to eat.
As a general rule of thumb, boiling water will cook carrots to a tender point in around 5 – 7 minutes. It will take longer if you’re using a slow cooker or a low boil with the rest of the ingredients cooking at the same time.
But the main goal is to be able to chop one in half with a fork or spoon with minimal effort. That’s how tender the carrots should be in a good soup.
