I wanted to start off the week by posting an incredible recipe that I made a couple weeks ago. I love finding unique recipes and manipulating them to be my own… in this case, it turned out incredible! Soups are a great way to get in a variety of health promoting vegetables, herbs and spices. It is also a wonderful way to warm your body from that winter chill…
I love taking my dogs for a walk, then coming home to bowl of soup…it makes the long winter seem not so bad!! I promise…if you love coconut and a little spice, this soup is for you !! Give it a try!
CARRIBEAN COCONUT, SWEET POTATO AND ZUCCHINI SOUP
2 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
1 Onion, peeled and sliced
3 Cloves of garlic, minced
1 Sweet Potato, diced
1 1/2 tbs paprika
1 tsp Crushed chilli peppers
1 tbs Turmeric
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tbs tamari
3 1/2 Can of crushed tomatoes
5 cups Vegetable stalk
1 tbs Organic Cane Sugar
2 Medium zucchini, cubed
1 Small can of coconut milk
1 tsp Himalayan Salt…add more to taste
Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a soup pot. Add onion, garlic, sweet potato, spices and tamarin. Cook for 5 min until onion is soft. Add tomatoes, vegetable stalk and sugar. Simmer until sweet potatoes are cooked. Add in coconut milk and Himalayan salt and let simmer for 5 min.
Garnish with shredded coconut and serve.
This Soup is dedicated to my grandfather Edgar Roy Boone, who passed away recently. He had a love for food and I think this soup would make him proud ~ February 11, 1935 – February 1, 2016.
