This soup is full of immune boosting vitamins! Use fresh grated ginger and organic coconut milk and prepare to have your mouth tantalized with flavour and goodness! Serve with fresh Halah bread
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds of carrots (about 5-6 large carrots, peeled and chopped)
1 medium potato peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil, organic
1/2 cup of chopped celery (about 2-3 stalks)
1/2 cup of red or white onion, chopped (pictured below is red onion that I used)
1-2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger root
3 and 1/2 cups of vegetable stock
Indian spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander or others of your choice)
1 cup of organic LIGHT coconut milk (this gives the soup its exotic flavour!)
*Optional: 1/2 cup dry, uncooked organic red or brown lentils ** (adds excellent source of fiber that you don't even know is there)
Yogurt (organic) and fresh slivers of basil leaves for on top of the soup when you serve it
Step 1: Heat oil in a large casserole pot or dutch oven. Add diced celery and chopped onion. Cook for 3- 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add in chopped carrots and potato and cook for 2 minutes more in oil. Add in the grated fresh ginger, and salt and pepper. NOTE: if you like a spicy soup add in some chili pepper (I add half a chipolte chili personally, which I cut into slivers). Also add in some Indian spices (1 tsp of each minimum) like CUMIN, TURMERIC, CORIANDER) and some red dried LENTILS (for extra fiber and nutrition). Then add in the vegetable stock, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes or until carrots are softened. Take off heat and allow to cool a bit.
Step 3: Blend this mixture in blender until pureed and smooth. MAKE SURE LID IS ON GOOD AND TIGHT. It should only take 1 minute. Return to pot, and heat gently over medium heat for a few minutes. Add in the coconut milk and serve immediately with warmed halah bread (egg bread).
