Curried Carrot & Potato Soup

Heat the olive oil (2 tsp) in a large pot over high heat. Cook the onion (1 large) until lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add splashes of [water] as needed to deglaze the pot. Start 6m timer

Add the cloves (2 garlic), curry powder (1 tsp), ground coriander (0.5 tsp), ground turmeric (0.5 tsp), and ground allspice (0.25 tsp). Cook for another 2 minutes. Start 2m timer

Then add the remaining ingredients: carrots (3), sweet potatoes (2 medium), bouillon cube (1.5 vegetable), and water (4 cups). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the [sweet potatoes] have softened. Start 15m timer

Using an immersion blender, purée the soup to the desired consistency. If using a standing blender, blend half so that some small chunks remain.
