Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the carrots on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes until soft.

  • Continue to sauté the vegetables and when the carrots are done, remove from the oven and add them into the dutch oven. Let everything cook together for about 10 minutes then add the spices. Add the coconut milk.
  • Using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the soup. If using a food processor, add it in batches so it doesn’t overflow.

  • Serve the soup with croutons on top and dig in! 

Notes

Some tips: 
Warning: it’s spicy! Don’t worry, you can handle it. 
This soup is vegan and gluten free. If gluten isn’t an issue for you, you can use whatever bread you want for the croutons.
The croutons can be stored in an air tight container for 2 days.
I use a food processor for my soups, so it has a bit of a chunkier texture.
Aleppo Pepper can be found at World Market.
