Moroccan Spiced Beet And Carrot Soup
Ingredients:
– 3 medium beetroots, peeled and diced
– 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
– Pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil
– Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
– Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the diced beetroots and carrots to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
3. Sprinkle the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
4. Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring that the beetroots and carrots are fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Once the vegetables are soft, carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
8. Ladle the Moroccan Spiced Beet and Carrot Soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of freshness.
9. For an extra touch of creaminess, swirl a dollop of Greek yogurt into each bowl before serving.
