Title: Carrot & Cumin soup
Post by: Katya on February 24, 2011, 09:48:23 am
Name of Recipe: Carrot and Cumin soup

Number of People: 4

Ingredients:

1 large onion  - peeled and quartered
300 g carrots (weight doesn't have to be exact) washed and chopped into chunks
20 g olive oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
water (approx 600 g)
1 tbsp veg. stock concentrate


Preparation:

Chop the onions and oil at speed 5 for 5 secs

Add the cumin seeds and cook for 3 mins at Varoma speed 2


Add the carrots and chop at speed 5 for 5 secs
Add water to the 1 litre mark and stock concentrate

Cook at 100 for 12 minutes speed 2

Add 100 ml cold water and puree at speed 9 for 1 minute

I have also made this using half beetroot and half carrot.   I had to cook it for a bit longer to make sure the beetroot was cooked.  It tasted really good and the colour was wonderful.


tips/hints from members Everyone thought it was delicious.

CC - My soup didn't cook in the initial 12 minutes, probably my carrots were a little too chunky. Just added 3 more minutes and it was fine. The cumin adds a real warmth to the soup and it's not sweet like carrot and coriander soup.

DJ - Just put 100 ml milk instead of water before pureeing.

Amy - I had a bit of zucchini that needed using so I chucked that in too.

Thanks for the recipe.  This looks really tasty ... and I love cumin, so I figure it must be a superb soup (somehow I think I will also adapt it for a pumpkin version as well).  Will have to wait for winter before I make it though!

Hope you have a long wait  ;)   It's just beginning to be spring here and it will be good to start thinking about summer foods again

Glad you liked it CC - we had it for lunch today too, although I had to use a sweet potato as I didn't have enough carrots.   Was OK but prefer the all carrot version

I love the colour.
How do you think it would serve up chilled? Being summer a chilled soup would be a nice change.

Have way too many carrots in the fridge  :-[  This is a good start to stock the freezer with some soup now the weather is getting cooler :)
