Beauty Eats-Roasted carrot and cauliflower soup
Today’s Beauty Eats recipe is about healthy comfort food. If you’re a new reader, you might be wondering what the Beauty Eats series is all about. The image on the left sums it up perfectly – it’s all about eating skin-friendly ingredients in delicious ways.
January can be a rather dull month since the holiday festivities are over and it’s the dead of winter. The best way to brighten things up on a cold, dreary day is with some colourful comfort food. Personally, I love the thought of warming up with some vegetable soup on a weeknight since it doesn’t require much work and you’ll get a few servings of veggies too. We all know how hard that is! This bright orange soup is made with roasted carrots and cauliflower, but since plain vegetable soup can get a little boring sometimes, I took some inspiration from the East. The soup also includes fresh ginger and coconut milk! How’s that for some fusion food? And to top it off, this soup is chock full of skin-friendly ingredients. Read on for the recipe and see what Connie from the Beauty Nerd has to say about this soup.
The 7-minute tomato soup
Tomato soup with cheese is a match made in culinary heaven. This tomato soup is great as a weekend lunch with a freshly grilled cheese sandwich or as a weekday lunch with whole-wheat crackers and rich cream cheese. It tastes like it’s freshly made, but can you believe it – it only takes seven minutes? And no – it’s not made from canned soup!
Making fresh tomato soup from scratch can seem like a daunting task with all the chopping and straining. I love the flavour of homemade tomato soup, but I never seem to have the patience or time to make it. I came up with this recipe as an easy way to make tomato soup for people on the go. It’s not made from canned ingredients, so it’s great for people who are conscious of their sodium intake. It also has an unusual ingredient – hummus – which adds some creaminess without the extra calories.
