SOUPS
Carrot/Asparagus Soup
From Nomi Shannon, author of The Raw Gourmet and Raw Food Celebrations, owner of
rawgourmet.com.
This could be called the king of soups. The fibre in the asparagus creates a delightful texture,
and the tahini gives it a smooth quality. Do not use the woody ends of the asparagus; chop
only the most tender part, about 2" from the end. Option: warm soup in the top of a double boiler or on very low heat just until warm to the touch. For extra zip, stir in 1/2 tsp wasabi powder.
1 cup cut up asparagus, or more to taste 1 cup carrot juice 2 heaping Tbsp tahini (or almond butter) 1 tsp cut up onion, or more to taste A pinch of sea salt or a few drops of Nama Shoyu dulse flakes
In a blender, blend first five ingredients into a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust flavours. Pour into serving bowl and top with dulse flakes.
Yields approximately 1-1/2 cups.
Serves 2.
