Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Arrange the carrots on a large lightly oiled sheet pan. Season the carrots lightly with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with olive oil. Roast in the 425 degrees F heated-oven for 45 minutes, turn over mid-way through. When the carrots are fork tender and nicely caramelized, remove them from the oven and set aside briefly.
- Once cool enough to touch, cut the carrots into chunks and place them in a large food processor with the garlic, ginger and 3 cups of the broth. Puree until the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the carrot puree to a heavy cooking pot. Add the remaining broth, coriander and allspice. Place the pot on medium heat and watch carefully as the soup will bubble. Stir occasionally.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream (or half and half). Once heated through, remove from the stove.
- Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve with your favorite rustic bread. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a soup pot over medium heat, pour in oil, then add leek and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, coriander, turmeric and cayenne, and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add carrots and stir to coat them with leek mixture. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, then add broth, thyme, if using, and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer, partly cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush pita wedges with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake until brown and crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
- When carrots are tender, turn off heat and let soup cool for 10 minutes. Remove thyme branches and stir in tahini. Using either an immersion blender, standard blender or food processor, purée soup until smooth. Return to pot and reheat if necessary. Taste and add lemon juice and more salt if desired.
- Serve soup garnished with the lemon zest, cilantro and pita wedges.

TAHINI-GLAZED CARROTS
A little sweet from date syrup, creamy from tahini and very tangy from plenty of lemon juice, this roasted carrot dish - adapted from Adeena Sussman's cookbook "Sababa" - has charisma to spare. It's also extremely easy to make. While the carrots roast with olive oil and cumin, all you do is whisk together a simple glaze from pantry ingredients. If you don't have the date syrup on hand, maple syrup works just as well, making the dish slightly sweeter but no less compelling.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the oil, salt and cumin. Roast carrots for 15 minutes, then turn them and continue roasting until they are golden at the edges and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer.
- While the carrots are roasting, make the tahini glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, tahini, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, silan, cayenne, salt and 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Whisk in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water until you have a thick but pourable sauce. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice, or both, if you like.
- Transfer the carrots to a platter and drizzle with the tahini glaze, tossing the carrots to coat.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry half the chickpeas for 5-8 mins until golden and crisp. Tip into a bowl and toss with sea salt, then leave to cool until ready to serve.
- Add the remaining oil, the onions, garlic, celery, carrots and a pinch of salt to the pan and fry over a medium heat for 8 mins, or until the vegetables have coloured slightly and started to soften.
- Pour in the stock and add the remaining chickpeas, then bring the mixture to the boil. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 mins until the carrots are tender. Add the tahini and a large pinch of black pepper, then blitz the soup until smooth using a hand blender. Taste for seasoning, then ladle into bowls and top with the fried chickpeas and some black pepper just before serving.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, roast the carrots at a higher temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- If you don't have tahini, you can substitute another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- To make the soup vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the yogurt.
- For a creamier soup, blend it until completely smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, leave some of the carrots and chickpeas whole.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, before serving.
