Fall is HERE. Right here!! Joy really is now!!
So I put up my fall decoration. Singular. A canister, well really a set of three canisters (you know, go big!!), on my windowsill. There. Now its time to cook! Yesssssssssssssssss!
This is my favorite soup ever ever ever of all time. If you make only one of my recipes ever, choose this one.
Superman and Sleeping Beauty and Nine Going On Sixteen were playing happily.
It may seem trite, but I know you parents hear me when I say that there's something so extremely life-giving in getting to take your time with a task because your kids are playing happily. It happens once every-other never, so we have to live.it.up!!
They don't know what a gift they are giving us - and each other, really. Better than Christmas. You can put a bow on the fact that I got to take pictures, turn up the music, and chop the vegetables in the calm. I love the smell in the kitchen when I make this soup, and I got to totally savor each whif!
Curried Carrot Soup (from DeeDee - who makes all things in life just a tad tastier and happier than your average Joe!)
8-10 big carrots, peeled and diced
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks of celery, chopped
6 Tbsp. coconut oil
3 tsp. chicken bullion paste
4 c. water
2 Tbsp. curry powder (I like this recipe with red, but any kind works)
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. dried onion flakes
Sauté the carrots, onion, and celery in the coconut oil until tender. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer on the stove for an hour. Blend the soup until its fine (I love the immersion blender!). Serve garnished with crushed peanuts, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.
YUM.
Happy fall, one and all!
