Carrot Harissa Soup

Cheers to longer days, springtime rain and big bowls of spicy carrot harissa soup in our
bellies.

Carrot Harissa Soup [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 3 medium tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 bulb fennel, chopped
• 3 1/2 cups carrots, trimmed & sliced
• 2-4 tablespoons harissa powder (depending on your spice preference)
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon himalayan pink salt

Preparation

1. Preheat the 400ºF. Wrap the tomatoes and garlic cloves in parchment and roast until tender. While roasting the tomatoes, heat olive oil in a medium pot. Add the onion and fennel, cook until lightly golden. Stir in the harissa, cumin and salt. Next add the sliced carrots and stir to coat with oil and spices.
2. Cover the mixture with water and allow to simmer until the carrots are tender. Remove from heat and transfer the carrot mixture, roasted tomato/garlic mixture, and lemon juice to a high-speed blender, puree until creamy. You may have to do this 2-3 times until you’ve fully blended the soup. Season with extra lemon, harissa or salt, if desired. Transfer back to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.
