Hello everyone – I hope you are doing well. Are you ready for the weekend? Hell yes, if you ask me. In fact, I was ready on Monday morning :) What about you?
With my previous recipe Carrot Ginger Soup I kicked off soup season on this blog (Which in fact started back in October for us.) And I am utterly excited to share another idea, this Carrot Tahini Soup.
Carrot Tahini Soup
Carrot soup is always tasty and ridiculously easy to make with just a bunch of ingredients. And it can be light and healthy, unless you load it with fatty ingredients such as cream, butter, and cheese. On a side note, I do encourage you to make this Carrot Cheddar Soup as it is so good.
This recipe is made with just a bunch of ingredients most of which you probably already have on hand – carrots, onions, garlic, broth or water, olive oil, and some herbs and spices. And, of course, tahini! While tahini is quite high in calories and should be consumed in moderation, it also nutritious and has health benefits. And since it’s high in protein, it’s incredibly filling, too!

And if you are looking for more soup ideas, I have many on this blog – everyone can find something to their liking. And I am also listing below few recipes that would be perfect for a cold winter day or night.
I hope you like this Carrot Tahini Soup, and you will give it a try shortly. If you make it, let me know in this post or send me an Instagram message or share your photos adding the hashtag #havocinthekitchen.
Cheers!

minutesCarrot Tahini Soup is a hearty, soul-warming recipe, and delicious recipe. It is also perfectly creamy and decadent without use of cream or butte
Ingredients
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
5-6 large carrots (about 3 lb. or 1200 g.), chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
~ 7 cups water or vegetable broth
2/3 to 1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. fresh or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/1 tbsp. Italian seasoning herbs
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. chipotle powder
1/4 cup (or a bit more) tahini + more for garnish
sesame seeds, lightly toasted, for serving(optional)
fresh thyme, for serving (optional)
Directions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions with garlics, 5-7 min, until aromatic and translucent. Add the carrots and cook them for 5 minutes until start to lightly brown.
- Add the water or broth to the pot along with the ginger juice, seasonings, and maple syrup (if using). Simmer at low-medium heat, covered and skimming the scum (if any appear) for about 12-15 minutes or until the carrots are soft.
- At the end, stir in the tahini and off heat. Let it cool a bit until easy to handle. Using an immersion blender, process until smooth. If the soup is too thick to your liking, add a little of hot water or broth. Try and adjust the seasoning (or maybe even more tahini!) if necessary. When serving, drizzle with extra tahini and sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!

I’ve been craving soup this week, so clearly this is a sign! Love the creamy, sweetness of the carrots and that nutty tahini swirl. This one is definitely a must try!
Thank you Marissa!
Ohhh definitely the tahini would add a lot of nice flavours on this dish. Never thought of using them on soups but sounds like a wonderful idea specially for vegetable soups like this.
Thank you Raymund!
Oooh, love the inclusion of tahini in the soup — gives it such a depth of flavour! Another soup I’d gladly enjoy every winter night!
Thanks Michelle!
Tahini is so addictive :-) I very often just eat the whole jar with a spoon and before I noticed it, half jar was gone. The soup looks really super, Ben.

Well this does sound like a fun and different soup idea – we’re always looking for new ideas to mix up soup season! The tahini would definitely add a nice undertone of flavor to the sweetness from the carrots. Well done, Ben! And it’s almost Friday, too!
