Ingredients

• 3 large carrots, washed and roughly chopped
• 1 red onion, roughly chopped
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 or 2 coriander roots and 5 cm of stem, rinsed well
• 700 ml of chicken stock or vegetable stock
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of fish sauce
• Juice of 1 lime
• For the seed and nut crumble:
• 1/3 cup of chopped pistachios
• 1/2 cup of omega three mix (sunflower seeds, pepitas, sesame seeds, linseeds, and buckwheat kernels)
• 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
• Pinch of chili
• 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder

To serve

• Extra lime wedges
• Greek yogurt
• Coriander leaves

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, carrots, and ginger in olive oil until the onion has softened, and the edges of the carrots have brightened, about 5-10 minutes.
2. Add the crushed garlic and the coriander roots and 5 cm of stem, sauté briefly.
3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, and simmer until all ingredients are tender. This should take about 20 minutes.
4. Once everything is tender, blend the soup until smooth.
5. Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Adjust the seasonings to your taste.
6. For the seed and nut crumble, toast the pistachios and omega three mix in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, chili, and curry powder. Toss until well coated, about 3 minutes. Then, transfer the mixture onto baking paper to cool and store in an airtight container.
7. To serve the soup, ladle it into bowls and garnish with extra lime wedges, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of the seed and nut crumble.
8. Top each bowl with fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness.
