This flavorful Tahini-Carrot Soup with Pistachios is super creamy, smooth, and delicious without any milk. So, what is the secret to this creamy and smooth texture without any milk or cream? It is tahini! Besides, the earthy flavor of tahini balances the sweet flavor of carrots and makes them taste savory.
I love this recipe, too, because it is very easy to prepare and uses simple ingredients. The base of this healthy soup is a mix of onions and carrots that are gently spiced with turmeric, smoked paprika, and garlic. As a garnish, I use a homemade creamy tahini sauce, pistachios, and fresh oregano leaves. So yummy!
To make the Tahini-Carrot Soup with Pistachios, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in ½ a teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric, and 2 cloves chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add 1 pound chopped carrots and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute.
Add in 3 cups unsalted vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer the soup for 20 minutes or until carrots are soft and tender.
In a blender, combine the carrot soup and 3 tablespoons tahini.
Remove the center cap from the blender lid and secure the lid on the blender. Cover the lid with a clean kitchen towel and process the soup until smooth.
Pour the soup into 4 bowls. Drizzle 2 teaspoons tahini sauce over each serving and garnish with chopped pistachios and oregano leaves. Serve and enjoy!
