Feeling the winter chills? Here in Toowoomba the temperature's just 1.7 Degrees Centigrade, and a warm, nutritious soup's just the ticket to provide some inner warmth. Here's a great recipe I found online and changed to make it more nutritious & tasty.
INGREDIENTS (organic where possible)
1 Kg Carrots, peeled & chopped
1 Medium sized Onion, peeled & chopped
3 Cloves of Garlic, peeled & chopped
3cm Ginger Root, peeled & chopped
1cm Turmeric Root, peeled & chopped (or 1 Metric Teaspoon Turmeric Powder)
2 Metric Cups Beef Stock (we used 1/2 metric cup stock from Nitrate-Free Silverside cooked in slow cooker)
2 Cups Water
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Garnishings - Sour Cream, Chopped Chives, Cracked Black Pepper
METHOD
On medium setting, heat oil in large saucepan
Add onion, garlic, ginger & turmeric
Cook on medium/low setting for ~ 10 minutes. Stir mix to cook evenly
Add carrots, beef stock & water to saucepan
Simmer for 40 minutes
Place portions into a blender and blend until mix is almost smooth (use thermomachine if available)
Place blended mix back into saucepan & stir on low heat setting until mixture warm
Ladle soup into bowls
Add sour cream if desired, and garnish with cracked black pepper & chopped chives
Enjoy!
