​Hollllaaaaaa!!!
​
Been forever since I have blogged on here, But if you really want to know what I am upto and all the new stuff that's happening in my life and what's keeping my soul nourished, Feel free to friend me on my IG @glamlocal and my health page @bollywoodyogi ! Yeah, I am a yoga teacher now! All that and more happened in 2016 with a lot of ups and downs like hurting my knee and being bedridden for a few months at the beginning of this year and being able to stand on my head now! 

Alright, enough with my never ending banter, I am so happy to share this super simple recipe of healing soup that I posted a while on my "stories" on instagram and a couple of my friends wanted the recipe! I have to say, My kiddo who is 8 now loved it and so did people at a party I was at recently!

Enuf said, Let's get on the recipe already! 

Ingredients

• 1 tsp of organic Coconut oil,
• 1/2 finely chopped Ginger,
• 2 cloves of Garlic,
• 2 cloves
• 1/2 of Onion roughly chopped,
• Brown sesame seeds
• 1 medium size frozen bag of organic peas
• Rosemary and oregano seasonings
• (I love the no salt seasoning from costco)
• Organic vegetable stock
• Himalayan pink salt
• Crushed Black pepper
• Sprigs of coriander leaves and/or basil.

Procedure
Let coconut oil warm up in your pan, I LOVE LOVE my Instapot for all these recipes and more! Once it's warm enough, Add in grated ginger and garlic and cloves, Once the aroma starts to diffuse in your pot, Add in the brown sesame seeds with onions and saute while adding himalayan pink salt, and rosemary seasonings to it. 

Once it's soft and mushy, add in your thawed peas and hot water along with buillion cube or veggie stock, Stir it in well and simmer for about half an hour, You could add in basil and/or coriander on top if you like or garnish it later.

​Once it is well cooked, Transfer the mixture into a high powered blender and blend away for a nutritious and tasty healing soup.  For a more zesty flavour, squeeze in half a lime and serve it fresh off the stove alongside breshly baked crisp bruschetta to wow your family and friends!
​
I hope you make this nourishing soup this winter and let me know if you tried it! Tag me on IG @Glamlocal and/or Bollywoodyogi with your creations ! I would LOVE to see you recreate this and nourish your body and warm up your souls!

Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season!
​Until next,
​Cheers!
