At Yoom, we love food with bright colors and bright flavors. This Yoom carrot, orange and cumin soup is sweet and nourishing. Rich in fiber, this soup is easy to digest as it increases blood flow to the digestive organs. Note: Ayurveda recommends avoiding the mix of fruits and vegetables to the exception of certain cooked foods like this one.

Serves 5  l  Difficulty: easy  l  Prep time: 15min  l  Total time: 35min


Ingredients 

  • 1 lb of carrots, peeled and chopped into 1 inch disks

  • 3 medium white onions, finely sliced

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 orange – juice and grated zest

  • 4 cups of vegetable stock

  • Mineral salt & pepper

  • 1 tbsp ghee

Steps 

  1. Heat one tablespoon of ghee in a large sauce pan then throw in the spices and fry for a minute.

  2. Add the sliced onion, the orange zest and a dash of water (without more oil or butter they will stick to the pan when sweating down) and sweat down over a low heat with the lid on for around 10 minutes until very soft – add more water if they dry out.

  3. Add the carrots and 2/3 of the stock to the sauce pan and and cook until the carrots are very tender.

  4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly then liquify.

  5. Return to the cleaned out sauce pan and add as much as the remaining stock as you want to get to a thickness you like. Also add the orange juice at this point.

  6. Heat right up again, season generously with salt and pepper and serve hot.
