Did you know that the first restaurant opened in France and served nothing but soups, which at the time were called "restoratives". I think we should bring back that term- it just sounds comforting to me- restoring. So, yeah. If you hear me referring to a restorative, now you know what I mean :P
This recipe's claim to fame is that it's easy to digest. It does call for avocado, which is high in fat, although healthy fat. The avocado gives this soup it's creamy texture, keeping it non-dairy, which is the focus of this recipe. Plus, it has a warming affect because of the ginger, whether it's served hot or cold, and what could be better for a chilly day, a rainy day, or a snuggle-in-bed-for-whatever-reason day?
You'll need:
3 large carrots
1 avocado, pit and skin removed
2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp grated ginger
Sea salt to taste
1/4 cup coarsely chopped or torn cilantro
Directions:
Grate carrots. In a food processor, process avocado and water. Once smooth, add carrots, ginger and sea salt. Process to desired consistency. Stir in cilantro and serve.
Voila!
I could go for a nice bowl of soup right now... Now if only I could get my boyfriend to cook!
