autumn soup
thick and creamy soup, dressed up for fall
4 carrots, approx 1 1/2 cups
1 and 1/2 cups cauliflower
2 stalks celery
1
avocado
2 cup water
½ teaspoon asafoetida,aka'hing'or onion powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon caraway seed
½ teaspoon salt, or more to
taste
`````````````````````````````````````````````
garnish:
a few leaves spring mix,carrot strips,tomato peel, optional for garnish
if you would like to serve this in a warm bowl,fill serving bowl with very hot water while preparing soup:)
1.blend everything except garnish in blender.(make sure you like the asafoetida if using for the first time , like me!)
2.top with ‘fall leaves’ cut from spring mix, carrot strips, and tomato peel,using small leaf cutters ,or cut simple leaf shapes with kitchen shears,and a few extra caraway seeds if desired.i think the leaf garnish would look pretty on any creamy soup,pumpkin or squash based for thanksgiving:)
this soup was created to go with Petit Pain- thanks sweetpea!
here is the asafoetida taste to see if you like it,it is very pungent, and a little goes a long way!, or use your favorite spice:)yummy with curry/cumin/cayenne/ginger , etc.
p.s. i actually saw some changing leaves in my travels this weekend!!!!!

Your beloved soup stalker is back. How crazy is this: Tonight I was feeling very down... depressed and I went and stared at this picture on my desktop and it brought back so many fond Fall memories. I actually sat there, stark, meditating on the picture and had inner joy come in abundance. I bought baby cauliflower today at the Farmer's Market and now I have everything I need to make this. I HATE following recipes but for this one, I'm going to -- except use a little fresh onion rather than powder. Big hugs, thank you for your offering and help through soup meditation!

Greenie, I think the "leaves" are cut from the spring mix, carrot strips, etc. But they do look like the real thing, don't they?
Evergreen, you are so creative. I've really enjoyed your posts and recipes. I'm certain this will be among my favorite soups this fall and winter. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
