Description:
Here's a very tasty recipe for carrot-tofu soup with dill (if you don't like tofu (yet) and are still trying to find ways to eat more, this is a good one, you won't even know it's there). A bowl of this plus a nice salad makes a very satisfying meal. Numbers in [brackets] refer to my notes at the end of the recipe.

Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.

Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 1-1/2 pounds of carrots, peeled & sliced [1]
  • 4 cups water [2]
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 small onion [3]
  • 10-1/2 ounces of soft silken tofu, regular or low-fat [4]
  • 1 scant Tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed [5]
  • 1 teaspoon red miso or to taste


How to make it:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine carrots, onion, salt, and water.
  • Cook over medium heat until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop carrots and onion out of cooking water.
  • Place in a blender or food processor.

    Comments:
  • Nutritional information per serving: 129 calories, 16 grams protein, 2 grams fat, 21 grams carbohydrates, 0 cholesterol, 730 mg sodium, 5 grams fiber; vegan.

    Notes:
  • [1] I forgot to peel the carrots, and it was fine - probably more nutritious, too.
  • [2] Vegetable broth instead of water would probably give more depth of flavor.
  • [3] Used a whole onion instead of half.
  • [4] The package of tofu was 12 oz. I didn't bother to take away the extra ounce-and-a-half, and it was fine. [5] 1 tablespoon fresh dill wasn't enough for my taste, I added another 1/2 Tbs or so.
  • [6] I don't know what kind of industrial-sized food processor they mean; my Braun Multipractic,(a fairly basic, average processor, I think) wasn't nearly large enough. I wound up pureeing it in batches.
