Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 (2-inch) piece of fresh ginger, chopped
- 10 shiitake mushrooms, chopped
- 2 pounds of carrots, peeled and chopped
- 6 cups vegetable stock (home-recipe in Bonus Content)
- 2 teaspoons of Herbamare or sea salt
Garnishes:
sauteed shiitake mushroom slices
chopped fresh cilantro
If you love the flavor and spice that ginger provides, then add up to a 4-inch piece of ginger. If your ginger is quite fresh, there is no need to peel it; if it is older with a thick skin, then peel it. Enjoy this soup during all phases of the Elimination Diet.
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a 6-quart pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 7 minutes. Then add the remaining ingredients except for the garnishes, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
3. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup to a blender and purée in batches.
4. Top each bowl of soup with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and chopped cilantro.
