Tahini-Carrot Soup with Pistachios

Recipe Description

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:
