How much carrots for 150 people?

The amount of carrots needed for 150 people will depend on how the carrots will be served and the size of the carrots. One pound of carrots will typically yield 2-3 cups of chopped carrots, and a serving of carrots is typically considered to be 1/2 cup. If the carrots are going to be used in a cooked dish, they will need to be cut into smaller pieces than if they are going to be served raw. If the carrots are going to be served raw, they may also need to be peeled.

As a general guideline, here is the amount of carrots you may need for different dishes:

- Carrot soup: 3 pounds of carrots (yields about 6 quarts of soup)

- Carrot stew: 2 pounds of carrots (yields about 4 quarts of stew)

- Carrot salad: 3 pounds of carrots (yields about 12 cups of salad)

- Roasted carrots: 3 pounds of carrots (yields about 18 cups of roasted carrots)

- Steamed carrots: 2 pounds of carrots (yields about 12 cups of steamed carrots)

For 150 people, a good rule of thumb is to have at least 3 pounds of carrots. If you will be serving carrots in addition to other vegetables, you may only need 2 pounds of carrots per 50 people.
