Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into chunks diagonally
- 1 vidalia onion cut into quarters
- 1 head garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp Coriander
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 5 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 cup parsley chopped
- 1 tbsp Aleppo pepper garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the top part of a garlic head and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and set aside.
- Place the carrots and onion quarters on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with turmeric, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to ensure the vegetables are well-coated. Add the wrapped garlic to the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the vegetables have caramelized edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the vegetables in a pot over medium heat. Unwrap the garlic and squeeze it into the pot as well. Add in the broth.
- Heat the soup over medium heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Then blend the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, you can blend it in a regular blender, but make sure to do it in batches.
- Add in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if needed. Cook the soup for 10 more minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper if desired.

Notes
- Roast for Flavor: Roasting is essential—it adds a caramelized richness you won’t get from boiling.
- Adjust Broth for Consistency: Start with 5 cups of broth or water, but add more if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Lemon Juice to Brighten: Don’t skip the lemon juice! Its acidity cuts through the richness and brings balance to the dish.
- Adjust the Spice Level: To add a bit of heat, increase the black pepper or add a pinch of cayenne.
