Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place carrots and tomatoes in a large roasting dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with kosher salt.
- Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
- While vegetables are roasting, heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add celery and cook until softened, making sure onions do not burn, about 4 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
- Remove vegetables from the oven; add tomatoes directly to simmering broth. Let carrots cool for 5 minutes.
- Coarsely chop carrots and add to simmering broth. Season with additional kosher salt. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer to intermingle flavors, about 20 minutes.
- Carefully transfer soup to a large blender, working in batches if necessary. Add 1/4 cup mint. Cover blender and hold lid down with a potholder. Pulse a few times before leaving on to blend to a fine, smooth consistency. Transfer soup to a large serving bowl or container.
- Chill soup in the refrigerator thoroughly, at least 2 hours. Garnish with 1 teaspoon mint leaves and a swirl of table cream before serving.

CREAMY TOMATO MINT SOUP
Although tomatoes and aromatic herbs always complement each other, tender sprigs of fresh mint seem to have a special affinity for tomatoes. In this soup the mint is a sprightly highlight that serves as a refreshing foil to the richness of the cream. Other fresh herbs, such as thyme or basil, can be substituted and the soup will still be very tasty, but you really owe it to yourself to make this recipe with mint at least once. As for the tomatoes, if it's summertime choose the ripest, freshest ones you can find (a pinch of sugar will bring out their natural sweetness); at other times of the year canned will do just fine. Serve with a basket of hot garlic bread and a tossed vegetable salad.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a medium-large, non reactive stockpot over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sweat, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture develops a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the flour brown.
- 3. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon if they're canned. Add the stock, tomato paste, and mint and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes.
- 4. Pour the soup into a colander set over a second pot. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill and return them to the stock in a pot. Stir to blend the soup.
- 5. Whisk in the cream, then simmer, uncovered, whisking frequently, until the soup is well flavored and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to highlight the sweetness of the tomatoes, if desired. Serve piping hot.
