Carrot Cumin Soup Recipe

Aisha, I thought I would send you my carrot soup recipe that I used our cumin in!

2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of chopped white onion
1 pound of carrots peeled and chopped
2 1/2 cups of vegetable broth
1 1/2 teaspoons of eSutras ground cumin seeds
1 tablespoon of eSutras light agave
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of soymilk
Yougurt and fresh cilantro as garnish

Preparation
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, saute for 2 minutes until tender. mix in carrots. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 20 min.

Remove soup from heat, slightly cool, and puree with a stick blender until smooth. Whisk in agave, lemon juice, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.

Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle fresh low-fat yougurt over and add sprigs of cilantro on top. Serves 4.

I'm going to try to attempt a gazpacho recipe with our cumin seeds this weekend, I'll let you know how that goes. But this carrot soup was very good, both hot and cold!

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter
