All of these soups are easily adaptable, just change the veggies and spices to whatever you have on hand!
This is a really filling tasty soup:
Raw Avocado Lime Soup
(from http://www.therawchef.com/trc_recipes/avocado-lime-soup/)
Serves: 4 to 6 (small bowls)
Ingredients:
2 avocados
¾ of a medium cucumber
1 stalk celery
Juice of 1 lime
Small handful of fresh coriander (cilantro)
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon tamari
1 cup water (if wanting warm soup use hot water)
Chives, chopped to garnish
Blend all ingredients, except the sour cream and chopped chives in a high-speed blender until smooth.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with sour cream and chopped chives.
Indian-Spiced Raw Tomato Soup
Serves 1
Ingredients:
2 medium tomatoes,
1/3 celery stick
1 x 2 inch thick slice of cucumber
1 thick slice of red pepper
10 fresh baby spinach leaves
1 small garlic clove
1 tbsp chopped red onion
2 stalks of fresh coriander
dash of soy sauce/tamari/ Braggs aminos
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp coriander powder
a dash of red chilli powder
black pepper to taste
Chop all the veggies and blend in a blender until smooth.
This soup would work well with Italian style herbs - replace the coriander, cumin and chilli with fresh basil and oregano.
Here is a side plate with all the veggies for the Tomato soup to give you an idea how many of your five a day you're getting in one small bowl.
Energising Soup
I found this soup on my colleague's Facebook Page (Michelle Hanley Nutrition and Juice Specialist) - it sounded very strange, but it tasted good! I left out the seaweed and replaced the almond butter with peanut butter.
Are there any raw soups you'd like to recommend for these warm summer days? Let us know!
