Golden Soup

 Golden Soup is a vibrant, comforting, and nutritious soup packed with warm, earthy flavors from ingredients like turmeric, carrots, and potatoes. It's perfect for when you want something hearty, light, and healing. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for extra warmth)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1/2 cup coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the vegetables:

Heat the olive oil or coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

2. Add the spices:

Stir in the turmeric, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the spices bloom and become fragrant.

3. Add the carrots and potatoes:

Add the sliced carrots and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and spices.

4. Add the broth:

Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let the soup cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the carrots and potatoes are tender.

5. Blend the soup (optional):

For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a blender. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can blend just half of it.

6. Finish with coconut milk and lemon juice (optional):

Stir in the coconut milk for a creamy texture and taste. Add the fresh lemon juice to brighten up the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
