 A delicious and healthy carrot soup that's too easy to make!

 Preheat your oven to 450°F.

 Slice an entire head of garlic in half (around the top). Wrap it in
 foil and place on a baking sheet. Chop up all your remaining
 vegetables into large chunks. Place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle
 with extra virgin olive oil. If you want to keep this recipe
 oil-free, drizzle with vegetable stock. Then, sprinkle with sea salt,
 black pepper, and sprigs of fresh thyme. Place baking sheet in the
 preheated oven and bake for about 45 to 55 minutes (when the carrot
 and sweet potatoes are fork tender). Allow everything to cool to room
 temperature.

 Add the roasted carrots, the roasted garlic cloves (squeeze them
 out), and other roasted vegetables to a high-powered blender or
 regular stand blender, together with gochujang, lemon juice (or
 pickling juice), silken tofu, and half the vegetable stock. Blend on
 high until totally smooth, about 3 minutes.

 Transfer the contents of the blender to a large Dutch oven or large
 pot. Over low heat, whisk in the remaining vegetable broth until
 totally incorporated and you obtain a beautiful, smooth, velvety
 broth. Remove from heat. Optional garnish includes kimchi, a little
 bit of chili oil, and celery leaves.
