My Purest Carrot Soup

These days, I am profoundly exploring the pure nature of things, like the pure taste and smell of vegetables. In cooking, we got so used to modify, to change, to add, to suppose that what is, is not good enough. This somehow reflects our way of thinking about all things. This often is discovered as a belive that we apply daily to ourselves … So these days, I am profoundly experiencing that thinking that something is good enough just the way it is, is one step on the ladder to a peaceful mind.

So this Carrot Soup recipe reflects this perfectly and supports a healthy, peaceful digestion. Ideal for recovery days, when your body and mind are working something out. Or simply need rest. This Carrot Soup is perfect for an alkaline diet.

Variations

The recipe below is the most basic version of my Carrot Soup, made with sliced carrots, herbes de Provence or your favourite herb mix, sea or other good quality salt, extra virgin oil and – but this already is optional – a handful of walnuts.

However, if this is too basic for your taste, I can give you some ideas for added ingredients:

Carrot and Tomato: you simply add a little bit of tomato purée.

Carrot and Coconut: for a more exotic flavour, you can add some coconut milk.

Carrot and Ginger: to add some slight spiciness, just boil the carrots together with a little bit of chopped fresh ginger. Only this variation remains fully alkaline!

Peace and Joy be with you always.

Servings 2 people

Equipment

• 1 blending device

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups carrots, cut in small slices
• 3-4 tbsp herbes de Provence or your favourite herb mix
• salt
• 3 tbsp walnuts, chopped optional
• olive oil extra virgin

Instructions

 

• In a saucepan, cook the carrots, the herbs and a little bit of salt in enough water to have the carrots covered (but not more, as we want this soup to be creamy!) until the carrots are tender (ca. 20 minutes). Take off the heat and let cool down.
• Blend the soup in your blending device until very creamy. If the soup turns out too thick, just add a little bit more water. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve the soup in a nice bowl, decorated with the nuts and a little bit of good olive oil.
