Here you will need the following:
3 tbsp. sunflower oil.
I tbsp. of minced onion.
1 tsp. of minced garlic.
I tsp. of minced ginger.
3 medium carrots cut into cubes.
2 medium sweet potato cut into cubes.
3 cups of water.
1 cup of coconut milk (I used Thai
. it's gluten free).
1 tsp. of salt, curry (gluten-free) and black pepper.
Heat the oil on medium heat, sauté the onion, garlic and ginger. Add sweet potato cubes, carrot cubes and water.Let them boil simmered for 30 min
or, until the sweet potato and carrots are soft. Remove the cooker from the stove. Blend the soup, then returned it again to
the stove. Add the coconut milk and seasonings, let it boil for 10 min. Then serve it hot.
This soup will make four servings (1serving= 1 cup 240g)
This soup is vegan, gluten free and dairy free. If you want a
rich soup, you may add chicken broth like Maggi cubes(it's gluten-free) instead of water, but it won’t be a vegan choice.
This soup will make four servings (1serving= 1 cup 240g)
If you compare fat and calories in this soup to the commercial ones, you may
think this one is a high calorie one but, most of the calories in this recipe, comes from the coconut milk which has short and medium chain of fatty acids, that our body used it for energy instead of fat storage.
And the last thing is this soup is definitely low in sodium and it's very fulfilling, you won't feel hungry for hours!
