Quick And Tasty Soup
Sometimes I just don't feel like making much effort for dinner.
Tonight was one of those times. Yet I wasn't prepared to settle
for delivered pizza or a boring sandwich so I whipped up a souper
quick filling soup instead. The secret was Jiva Thai's
Lemongrass Galanga Sauce. It's 100% vegetarian and costs $3.99
a jar from one of the Kensington Market health food shops.
I finely chopped
- 1/2 small onion
- nickel sized piece of ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic
and softened in a tiny bit of olive oil. While the that was
cooking I coarsely chopped
- 2 organic carrots
- 1/5 head of cauliflower
- 1/2 red pepper
- 2 stalks of celery
and tossed those into the now softened onion mixture along with
a generous tablespoon of Lemongrass Galanga. I stirred that around
for about 2 minutes before adding two cups of water. The final
mixture was brought to the boil, turned down and simmered 5 more
minutes.
The end result was a delicious and filling soup that took next
to no time to make. Cleanup was a breeze too because it was a one
pot meal.
