Directions
Put the tahini, the ⅓ cup water, the tamari, lemon juice, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl, and stir together.
Put the vegetable stock and carrots in a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Immediately reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the broccoli, leeks, tomatoes, and parsley.
Cover and return to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the tahini mixture and stir until mixed.
Bring just to a simmer, and serve immediately.
