When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing more comforting than a bowl of steaming soup. Our sea moss soup is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (carrots, celery)
- 2 tablespoons sea moss gel
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Cooked chicken or lentils for added protein
Instructions:
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the broth and vegetables: Pour in the vegetable broth and chopped vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the sea moss gel: Add the sea moss gel and stir until it is fully dissolved.
- Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can also add cooked chicken or lentils for extra protein. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a more flavorful soup, use a homemade vegetable broth or a high-quality store-bought broth.
- If you don’t have fresh vegetables, you can use frozen.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the vegetables. The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
- If you find the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for added flavor and presentation.
