Instructions

1
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so the garlic does not brown.
