16 large carrots (3 lb/1.5 kg)
4 baking potatoes, peeled (2 lb/1 kg total)
8 shallots, peeled and halved, or 2 large onions, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wedges
1/4 cup (50 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper
12 cups (3 L) chicken or vegetable stock
Garnish:
Top each bowl with 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic croutons
Preparation:
Cut carrots and potatoes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks; place in large bowl. Add shallots, oil, salt and cayenne pepper; toss to coat. Scrape into large roasting pan. Roast in 450°F (230°C) oven, stirring once, until browned and tender, about 1 hour.
In batches, transfer to food processor and purée with 1 cup (250 mL) of the stock per batch. Scrape into large pot. Add remaining stock and 3 cups (750 mL) water; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add water to make 20 cups (5 L), if necessary. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Divide among five 4-cup/1 L airtight containers. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.) Reheat before serving.
