Notes

Roasting the carrots briefly before adding them to the pot enhances their sweetness and adds depth of flavor. The lemon juice brightens the soup, so don't skip it! You can also vary the herbs; if you’re not a fan of coriander, try parsley or basil instead. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze for up to three months. Use organic carrots for better flavor and try to toast the turmeric lightly before adding liquids for enhanced flavor. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always check your broth labels to be sure.
