Winter Soup

These days it's been awfully cold. Few things are better than hot soup to comfort oneself, so here is my winter soup recipe. I hope you like it:

Winter Soup


Ingredients:


-1/2 kg of potatoes- I prefer cambray, but any type is good


-1/2 kg of carrots 


-1 soup spoon of olive oil 


-1 handful of coriander- if you prefer it, parsley is great too


-minced garlic to taste- for the non cheat version you can use two garlic cloves


-sea salt to taste


-freshly ground pepper to taste- or not so fresh, for the cheat version 


-1/2 cup of water


-1 cup of soy milk, for a creamier texture (OPTIONAL, can be replaced with other vegetable milks

-sun dried tomatoes, as garnish (OPTIONAL)


-coriander leaves, as garnish (OPTIONAL)


-Music: Zombie, The Cranberries (OPTIONAL)


To start off, set a large pot of water with a dash of salt to boil. Cut the potatoes and carrots into cubes, whatever size you like, they're going in the blender later on. The smaller the cube, the shorter the cooking time. Once the water boils, add the potatoes and carrots. When they're soft they're ready for the next step.

Blend the potatoes, carrots, water, vegetable milk, garlic, salt, pepper,, coriander or parsley in a blender or food processor. If you want your soup to be more liquid (as opposed to creamy), add water or vegetable milk to taste.

Leave on the stove at low heat till it boils. Serve hot and garnish with sun dried tomatoes and coriander. Any vegan bread goes great with this soup.

Serves 4 portions.

Kid and Omnivore approved :)

Enjoy!
