Moroccan Carrot Soup- veganized
Why I Love This Recipe
FEATURING: Onions and carrots.
A bright and cheery soup that is full of flavour. A wonderful CSA partner of ours shared this recipe with us years ago. I veganized it when I made it and loved it too. If you don't have cumin seeds, just use ground cumin and forgo roasting it in a pan.
