Moroccan Carrot Soup

JOSIE RANKIN-LARY
Once you have all your ingredients gathered, this delicious Moroccan inspired soup comes together quickly, To achieve a proper spice profile, you need several key components to make it “Moroccan inspired.” One of the most popular spice blends for Moroccan dishes is cumin, coriander, cinnamon and ginger. These warming spices are commonly incorporated into recipes with the addition of citrus such as lemon, tangerine or orange. The spice and citrus combination are used in sauces, soups, marinades and for baking and seasoning rice and couscous. Adding the brightly flavored spiced orange tea is brilliant and plays perfectly with the earthy tones of the cinnamon, cumin and coriander. The soup is so deeply flavorful and good on its' own, but the garnishment of sheet pan spiced garbanzos takes it up a notch and lends for nice bite. We love this soup as a "soup stretcher"too! It's a perfect saucy ingredient for pouring over cous cous, roasted sweet potatoes or cauliflower, or tossing with pasta. And it just gets better the next day. Hope you give this one a try!

Instructions
 

  • INSTRUCTIONS: In a large stock pot on medium high heat, add olive oil, onion and shallot. Cook for
    4-5 minutes until items are softened. Add in garlic, ginger and carrots and saute’ for 3-4 minutes. Add
    vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium low and cook until carrots are
    softened. About 12 minutes. Add in cup of steeped spiced orange tea and coconut milk. Using an
    immersion blender, puree ingredients until smooth. Cover soup and keep on low heat until ready to
    serve.
    GARBANZOS: While soup is warming. Heat oven to 450. On a parchment lined sheet pan place
    drained garbanzos. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with honey, paprika, cumin, cinnamon and salt.
    Toss to completely coat garbanzos with spices and oil. Place in oven for 15 minutes. Garbanzos should
    be caramelized when done and have a bit of a bite to them.
    TO SERVE: Ladle equal amounts of blended soup into bowls. Garnish with garbanzos beans and
    chopped herbs and hot sauce, if so desired. We enjoyed this soup with a chunky salad made of
    cucumber, tomato, red onion and mint with crumbled goat cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar,
    good olive oil and cracked black pepper.
