This simple well-seasoned soup can be made with either carrots or pumpkin or a combination of both. Moroccan spices like Ras el Hanout have a beautiful balance of sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg which are offset by the more savory tastes of cardamom and ginger. Moroccan spices used in small amounts in soups stews or rice dishes give them a wonderful exotic aromatic lift rather than adding heat to the dish.

I believe that we are so comfortable with Moroccan spices that it’s becoming a pantry staple in any kitchen, much like basic curry powder has been a staple in Australian, American, and English households in past decades.

This delicately spiced soup can be eaten as a simple vegetable soup or can be dressed up with a variety of condiments like toasted and salted sunflower seeds, sour cream, and fresh coriander or lemon thyme, chopped hard-cooked eggs, or croutons.
