Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 bowl Vegetables bell peppers, chopped (such as carrots, etc.), mixed, zucchini
Millet Base
- 2 tbsp Millet Flour mixed
- 2 tbsp Tomato Puree roasted
Flavor Enhancers
- 1 tsp Garlic chopped, roasted
- 1/2 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, crushed
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, mixed, or dill)
- 1/4 tsp Chili Flakes smoked
- 1/2 tsp Olive Oil
- Himalayan Salt pink, to taste
Instructions
- Chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mixed millet flour with a little water to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Roast the tomatoes until softened, then peel and blend into a smooth puree. Roast the garlic cloves until fragrant and soft, then chop finely.
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the chopped vegetables and pink Himalayan salt. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
- Heat the olive oil in a separate pan. Sauté the chopped roasted garlic until fragrant. Add the roasted tomato puree and stir well.
- Pour the tomato-garlic mixture into the saucepan with the cooked vegetables. Stir in the millet flour paste. This will thicken the soup slightly.
- Add the ginger powder, crushed black pepper, lemon juice, and mixed herbs. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of smoked chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra depth, try dry-roasting the mixed millet flour in a pan for 2-3 minutes before adding it to the soup; this enhances its nutty flavor and prevents clumping.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve some of the sautéed veggies and add them back at the end, just before serving, for a satisfying bite.
- To boost protein, stir in a handful of cooked lentils or chickpeas just before simmering; this works especially well for making the soup a more filling meal.
- For a refreshing South Indian twist, temper the finished soup with a tadka of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida in hot oil, then pour over the soup before serving.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the consistency of the soup by adding more water or broth if needed. For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the cooked soup before adding it back to the pot.
- Customize the vegetables based on your preference and what’s in season. Root vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots would be a delicious addition.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley before serving for added flavor and visual appeal.
Storage Instructions
- Allow the soup to cool completely before storing. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
