We stirred harissa, a hot chile sauce commonly used in North Africa, into this carrot-and-leek soup for a hint of heat.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook leek until just soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in carrots and harissa. Season with salt. Cook until carrots are just soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Puree half the soup in a blender until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Stir puree into remaining soup in pan. Divide soup among 4 bowls, and garnish with parsley.
SPICY CARROT SOUP
A healthy, tasty, and spicy soup I made for Thanksgiving for a Turkish/Japanese crowd, who really enjoyed the heat! I used homemade chili powder from de arbol chilis, and homemade chicken stock instead of vegetable. Simple to make. The chopping takes a little while if you are slow like me, and it cooks for a long time, but does not really need to be attended too much. From a book called 400 Soups. The original recipe also included garlic croutons for topping.

SILKY SPICY CARROT SOUP
I went on a cruise on the Holland America cruiseline and they served a wonderful carrot soup. The seasonings are a little different, and this is from the Down Home with the Neely's cookbook, so you know it's gotta be good!

Steps:
- In a large pot, combine the stock with the carrots, celery, onion, leek, potato, ginger, cumin, coriander, and cayenne, and bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Working in batches, puree the soup in a food processor(or blender), then return to the pot.
- Stir in buttermilk and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Reheat gently. Ladle into bowls, and sprinkle with the parsley and serve. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, organic carrots. Avoid carrots that are wrinkled or have blemishes.
- Roast the carrots first: Roasting the carrots before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer color.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooking will make the soup mushy.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
This silky spicy carrot soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious soup, give this recipe a try!
