Fasting Soup

Ok I have to confess, I make this soup with whatever veges I have in the fridge that need to be used up, so feel free to mix and match. The point is to have at least five different colours of veges (for variety in nutrients) and to fill up that slow cooker.

Today I used:

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 1 zucchini
• 2 carrots
• 1 bunch of shallots
• ½ onion diced
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• Half a celery
• 1 large sweet potato
• Two tablespoons of homemade stock (I used the Vegetable Stock Paste Recipe - Thermomix® Homemade Stock)
• 4 litres of water
• 1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika (smoked paprika will also work)
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon onion power
• Fresh herbs and spices to taste (I used parsley, chives and coriander)

I like to slow cook this soup, but you can also cook it on the stove top or in the Thermomix.

I start with one tablespoon of EVOO, the garlic and the onion. I put the slow cooker on high and stir until I can smell the garlic and onion. I then add all the ingredients (which I diced), the homemade stock and water. I slow cook on high for half an hour and then low for four hours.

You can serve as is, or you can use a mixer to puree.

I make this for my fasting cycles.
