Spring Green Onion Soup
Description
This vibrant Spring Green Onion Soup is a celebration of fresh, seasonal flavors. Blending tender steamed green onions and celery with savory tamari and earthy herbs, it creates a silky, light-green broth that is both comforting and refreshing. The subtle sweetness of the alliums is balanced by a hint of cayenne and the umami depth of vegetable bouillon, making it a satisfying meal on its own or a perfect starter. It is an excellent choice for springtime dinners, light lunches, or when you need a warming yet healthy dish.Directions
-
Steam the chopped green onions and celery until just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
-
In a large frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
-
Add the steamed green onions and celery to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
-
Stir in the vegetable bouillon cubes, tamari, parsley, sweetener, paprika, salt, dill, thyme, cayenne, sea kelp, and optional broth powder. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the cooked rice (or potatoes if used) and water or stock to the pan.
-
Transfer the mixture to a blender in batches. Blend until smooth and creamy, resulting in a light green consistency.
-
Return the blended soup to the saucepan and simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors and soften the bite of the onions.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or sweetener if needed.
-
Serve hot with crusty bread, crackers, or other accompaniments.
