Here’s a soup that is sure to pack a detox punch!! This trio of ingredients will both cleanse the body and satisfy your taste buds. The use of both cumin and ginger in the same recipe is interesting and will provide a flavour you won’t’ soon forget.
The carrots serve as the base for this soup and are a good source of the antioxidant Vitamin A as well as dietary fiber. Cumin has long been established as having curative properties, and ginger acts as a cleansing agent in the body. Perfect for lunch or mid-afternoon snack!
Serves 4
1 medium onion, sliced
2.5cms/1inch knob of ginger peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon oil
8 big carrots, peeled if desired, cut into rough chunks
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 litre vegetable or chicken stock
1 tablespoon cumin seeds to sprinkle
- Step 1 – Sautee onion and ginger in oil until translucent and then add carrots and cook for about 5 minutes. Add stock, cumin powder and simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour until carrot is very soft (if you don’t want to cook it for that long, cut the carrot up into smaller pieces).
- Step 2 – Puree soup in a blender and serve with a teaspoon of cumin seeds sprinkled on top.
- Step 3 – Enjoy!
