Carrots never tasted so good... and they're good for you too.
Carrots? Healthy and packed with carotene, which your body will convert to Vitamin A for the health of your eyes and skin.
Cashews? A tasty nut giving a hit of protein and iron, both essential elements of a vegetarian diet.
Curried Carrot and Cashew Soup (serves 4)
What you need:
500g carrots
2 small onions
1 Tbsp butter or dairy-free spread
1 –2 Tbsp curry powder
1-2 tsp cumin powder
3 cups water
1 cup toasted cashew nuts
What to do:
Slice carrots and chop onions finely. Melt butter, add curry powder and chopped onions, then saute until onions are soft. Add the carrots and water, then simmer until carrots are tender. Blend cashew nuts until finely ground. Drain carrots and onion, then add to blender. Season with salt & pepper. Reheat to serve. Top each serving with parsley and plain yoghurt.
This soup can be served on its own as a meal with wholegrain bread, or as a starter to whet your appetite.
