Harissa Carrot Soup

Harissa Carrot Soup

Carrot soup gets a flavorful upgrade courtesy of harissa in this recipe. The spiced red chili paste adds a subtle kick without being too overpowering, but the real secret here is the two cups of pasta water that get added to the broth. The starchy byproduct helps season the soup while also giving it more body.
