Minted Spinach Soup
with Ras El Hanout Carrots & Yogurt
Nothing screams “spring” like fresh mint, perfectly sweet carrots, and vibrant green spinach. Ras el hanout is a fragrant, toasty blend of spices used in Moroccan, Tunisian, and Algerian cooking. A dollop of yogurt is the perfect finishing touch for this refreshing, silky puréed soup. This is also delicious chilled, so double-up to get through the workweek in springtime style.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine carrots, just half the chickpeas, just 2 tsp ras el hanout, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt to baking sheet and toss. Roast until carrots are tender and chickpeas are crispy, 15 to 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Cook until onion is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining chickpeas, spinach, broth concentrate, 1¼ cups water, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until greens are wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer soup to blender and add all but a few mint leaves. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (TIP: Vent blender and begin blending on low and finish on high to avoid splashing.)
Divide minted spinach soup between bowls and dollop with yogurt. Top with ras el hanout carrots and chickpeas and remaining mint leaves. Soup’s on!
