Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 pounds fresh carrots chopped
  • 2 tbsp harissa powder (no salt)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot or dutch oven to medium. Add the oil.
    Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for a minute more. Add the carrots and continue to sauté for around 5 minutes. It's okay if the vegetables get some color on them, just don't let them burn. Add the harissa and sauté for 2 more minutes.
    Add the broth and salt and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, immediately turn to a simmer and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
    Turn the heat to low and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth.
