## Equipment

## Tips

- Roast the chopped carrots in oil at 450°F before simmering for deeper caramelization and sweetness.
- Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or beer before adding the stock to add brightness.
- If the spice level is too high, stir in yogurt or heavy cream before serving.
- If you don't have a blender, a potato masher, fork, or spoon can be used, or the soup can be served with carrot chunks.
- Add orange juice for an extra layer of flavor.
- Try other spice blends like harissa, berbere, or curry powder.
