Roasted Carrot & Tahini Soup

I love soup season, especially in the fall and winter. This is the coziest bowl to serve up on a chilly night. It is packed with flavor, nutrients from the colorful veggies that go into the soup and so comforting. The best part is it is gluten free, grain free, soy free, sugar free and dairy free, making it an easy option for anyone with allergies. I love using carrots, sweet potatoes, and/or colorful peppers to create a vibrant soup. The secret ingredient is tahini, giving it a creamy and rich texture that will keep you coming back for more! If you make this, please leave a comment and let me know how you like it. Happy soup season!
