Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots, carrot, and 1 dash salt. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add vegetable broth, quinoa, and another dash salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until carrots and quinoa are cooked, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile whisk together miso, tahini, and lemon juice until smooth. Once soup is finished, remove from heat, and stir in miso mixture, nutritional yeast, and dill.
