White Bean Carrot Chili

Heat oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Add leeks, garlic and water. Cook until leeks soften, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and stir to coat. Cook, stirring often, until carrots begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add spices and salt and stir until fragrant, about one minute.

Fold in beans and tomatoes. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about 30 minutes.

If you prefer a less chunky soup (I’m averse to chunks of tomato), blend about half the soup with an immersion blender. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, and Greek yogurt if desired. Enjoy!
