Carrot Cumin Soup

Carrot Cumin Soup is one of my favourite warming soup recipes. It is now the only carrot soup recipe that I make!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
10 - 12 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons honey or agave (vegan)
8 cups low sodium vegetable stock (gluten-free)
juice of 1/2 a lime
plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt and chopped green onions or chives for garnish

Directions

Melt coconut oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, cumin seeds and salt. Stir often until the onions are softened. 

Stir in stock, carrots, potatoes and honey. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cover and simmer until the carrots and potatoes are soft (about 25 minutes). 

Puree the soup with a hand blender until smooth.  Stir in the lime juice and salt and pepper if desired. 

Spoon into bowls and garnish with yogurt and chopped chives, if you wish.
