Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 (1-inch) knob of ginger, finely grated
- 1lb/450g carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 teaspoons Tulia Apple Cinnamon Supersnack
- 1 green apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
- 5 cups vegetable stock or water
- A small bunch fresh dandelion leaves, shredded
- A large handful of cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened plain non-dairy yogurt
- A pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Preparation:
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and sauté the onion until softened; add ginger, carrots, potato, Tulia Apple Cinnamon Supersnack, apple, and vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together all drizzle ingredients, adding a couple tablespoons of water if needed. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Add dandelion and cilantro and cook until just wilted, about 3 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth (or use a food processor).
4. Return the soup to the saucepan, season to taste, and heat thoroughly, adding some vegetable stock if too thick.
5. Serve with a drizzle of the tahini mixture and topped with pumpkin seeds and cilantro.
6. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
