Spiced Carrot and Spinach Soup

So, Day 2 of my Whole 30 has gone very well. I had scrambled eggs and some grilled bacon for breakfast, avocado salad and some nuts for lunch and then made soup for dinner. The soup was so yummy I thought I'd share the recipe.

Spiced Carrot and Spinach Soup (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

6 medium carrots, chopped
4 sticks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 large handfuls of spinach
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp whole fennel seeds, crushed
1 tsp saffron
1 veg stock pot
1/2 can of full fat coconut milk
1/2 red chilli

Directions:

Place the chopped carrots, celery and onion in a large pot of water and bring to the boil
Add the cumin, turmeric, fennel seeds, saffron, stock, chilli and coconut milk and simmer until the vegetables are soft (will take approx 20 mins)
Add the spinach at the last minute and allow to wilt.
Blend the ingredients (either using a hand-held blender or by transferring to a food processor).
Season with black pepper and serve with pumpkin and sunflower seeds as a garnish.
Easy peasy and yummy!
