$1 Carrot Soup w/ Honey Vadouvan Granola

Byron Talbott crafts a gourmet-style carrot soup that costs just a dollar per serving. He roasts carrots for depth, blends them with stock and aromatics, and tops the velvety soup with honey vadouvan granola for crunch and spice. The recipe showcases balance—sweetness, earthiness, and texture—all built on affordable, everyday ingredients with fine-dining finesse.
