Organic Eggplant Cream Soup

Description

Charring an eggplant, cutting it open and discovering how its once firm, fleshy interior has darkened and softened is one of those wonderful little culinary surprises. The tradition of charring and grilling food over an open flame has its roots in the Middle East. From Israel and Armenia to Iran, cultures across the region have perfected the art of cooking with fire.

I was once invited to an Armenian barbecue. The women sat on a rug, talking, while the men gathered around the fire. A beautiful sight.

HEALTH-PROMOTING PROPERTIES – Why Comfort?

The high content of eggplant and root vegetables provides plant-based fiber that supports healthy digestive function. The addition of extra virgin olive oil and vegetables naturally rich in antioxidants makes this soup a valuable part of a balanced everyday diet.

Charred eggplant gives it a deep, subtly smoky flavor, while cumin, garlic and basil create an aromatic blend that warms and brings a comforting sense of well-being.
