Fatfree sweet potato spinach soup with chanterelles and dried tomatoes
On the Medical Medium diet I like to mix and match between the recipes on the Medical Medium official website. This cold spinach soup is one of those: created with the spinach cleanse soup in mind, but just a bit different. The base is formed by steamed and cooled sweet potatoes, blended with spinach and red bell pepper. I added in some honey for extra depth and sweetness. The topping is made with dried chanterelles and tomatoes. Both soaked, and then the chanterelles are steamed briefly.
Ingredients
- Sweet potato – You need to make about one cup of puree, one average potato should do the trick.
- Spinach – Grab two large handfuls, probably about three cups. Basically, together with the water, bell pepper and potatoes you can fill up a blender.
- Red bell pepper – Cut into bitesize pieces to make the blend a bit smoother.
- Honey – Stir in after blending.
- Chanterelles – I buy those dried, let them soak and then steam them briefly.
- Dried tomatoes – Make sure your tomatoes are unsulfured. If possible choose without salt. For as lowfat as possible choose ‘dry’ dried tomatoes and preferably not in a jar with oil (but if not possible: rinse off the oil before use). Also make sure it has no other additives.
- Thyme & oregano – Both dried or fresh in the soup, but when used as topping I like to use some fres twigs.
Other spinach soup
And off course, the ‘mother’ of all my spinach soups: the raw spinach soup with orange juice, tomatoes and garlic on the official Medical Medium website.
