- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin

- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chili powder
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chopped carrots on baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil; toss to combine. Place in oven and roast for 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add onion, breaking each quarter in half, garlic cloves and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Stir to cover with the olive oil. Place back in the oven and roast an additional 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large stock pot on the stove, saute remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil, minced ginger, turmeric and cumin over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in vegetable broth; stir and bring to a simmer.

Using an immersion blender, puree the vegetables until the soup is a smooth consistency.
