1 T ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp or more of cumin (my addition)
2 T butter (or olive oil or combination of the two)
5 cups carrots, sliced or grated (I grated them in the food processor--don't ask me how many carrots this is-- about 1 lb.)
1 potato (optional - I added it to thicken the soup;it is not in the original recipe)
2 cans of chicken broth
1 can of water (this doesn't say what size can. I skipped the chicken broth and used about 4 cups of water)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Nonfat yogurt & chopped cilantro (optional garnish)
In soup pot sauté ginger, garlic, onion and cumin in butter till tender. Add carrots (and potato if you want) & water and simmer till tender (about 20 min). Add lime juice, taste for seasoning - add salt to taste, and more cumin if you want). Pureé with stick blender or in food processor or blender till smooth. Chill. Yummy!
My friend, cohort/cahoot and general troublemaker Sandy, sent me a link to this blog and the recipe for chocolate and tahini gooey cake. Naturally, there were links to a bunch of French food blogs and I was off and reading when I should have been working.
Sandy remembered that I had a lifetime supply (now dwindling) of tahini and she figured I would have dark chocolate, so she KNEW I could not resist experimenting with the recipe. I just took it out of the oven. I don't love gooey, so I baked it for 12 minutes instead of 10. Have not yet tasted it, but here it is. It probably needs unsweetened whipped cream, which I do not have.

A cityscape, or your bookshelf. Either way, I love it!
This soup looks so attractive! And so seems the recipe. If I wasn't such a lazy cook...
Beautiful stripes. Yes, I thought of a bookshelf, too. Also because of the calligraphic touch. The brown one on the left side is wonderful! Can it be seen in larger quantities anywhere in your blog history?
Yes, I see books or buildings also:)
Books, lots of them- love the colors and all the skinny strips.
Am waiting here on PINS & NEEDLES for the chocolate/tahini report! Sadly I have no chocolate to do it myself, but I am headed for the carrot shredder today to ty that soup. Love cold soups in the summer, DH not so much so I get it all for myself for days and days... Thanks for not calling me a 'coot' too.
I love any form of carrot-ginger soup. Will be interested to hear how the chocolate-tahini dessert tasted. It looks great, but somehow those two ingredients don't seem to be intended for each other. The bottom piece looks like a city skyline. Very NYC cool!
It totally looks like a cityscape....I love it!
I have a summer soup recipe that I will post in the next couple of days. I can't wait to try yours! MMMMM And that Tahini and Chocolate cake recipe looks great! Thanks for the link!
Yes, I also thought the pieces could be a bookcase!
xo
I found your soup recipe and made it a few days ago and it was great! Addicting. I made it with all water, a little extra ginger, and it had so much flavor.
Today, as I got ready to post this comment, I noticed the chocolate recipe. I suspect that when you don't have tahini, you could use peanut butter or almond butter...no actual testing of the recipe...hmmm, maybe I'll have to do a public service and test this recipe and then again with my suggested substitutes!
Thanks for posting the recipes!
