“THYME” TO EAT HEALTHY!

Karina’s Super-Healthy Thyme, Carrot and Garlic soup with Supergrains Bread!

Ingredients:

• 1 litre vegetable stock
• 900 g carrots, sliced into rough cubes (don’t peel the carrot, just rinse it well and chop the ends off)
• 2 large pink or red onions, roughly chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped
• 200 g sweet potato, roughly cubed
• 1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

To Serve:

• 1 small bunch of fresh thyme, leaves picked, to serve each person
• 1/2 teaspoon of tabasco sauce, to serve each person
• A tiny drizzle of olive oil, to serve each person
• 3 small slices of Supergrains bread, lightly toasted, to serve each person

Method:

Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a large pot, then place on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Wait for a few seconds, until the oil heats slightly, then add your onions and stir fry for 1 minute only. After 1 minute is over, add your garlic, then stir fry for 20 seconds, until aromatic.

Once aromatic, add your vegetable stock, your carrots and sweet potato. Bring this to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until just under cooked.

Once the 10 minutes are over, add your celery, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. One the 5 minutes are over, turn your stove to ‘off.’

Lightly toast your bread.

Compiling the beauty:

Ladle your soup into a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil and tabasco sauce over your soup. Finish by sprinkling your thyme leaves over your soup.

Serve with lovely toasted supergrains bread!

Serves 4 as a light meal

Enjoy!
