Okay, strictly "Green" food for this Earth Day.
Ingredients - 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, minced
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chopped zucchini
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 red bell pepper, minced
Directions - Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, garlic, ginger, and sugar. Cook 5 minutes, until onion is tender. Season with salt, turmeric, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix in potatoes and zucchini, and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Remove soup from heat, season with cayenne pepper, and stir in spinach. Using a hand blender, blend soup until smooth. Garnish with red bell pepper to serve.
Great dish, cooked it for mothers day to rave reviews. Substituted about 1.5 to double the calaloo for the spinach, nixed the potatoes and added a bit more zucchini. Great tasting, everyone is sad that its all gone.
