Yogi Bhajan's Onion Soup

I am a soup junkie. I've never met a soup I didn't love. So the other night I had a favorite...my beloved German Potato Soup, and still craving soup, last night I made this new onion soup recipe, which I found on the Yogi Tea web site.

If there is one other soup that gives the German Potato Soup a run for its money, its a good onion soup.....and this one delivers!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup oil


• 3 onions, thinly sliced


• 3 tablespoons minced gingerroot


• 2 tablespoons minced garlic


• 1/2 teaspoon pepper


• 2 teaspoons turmeric


• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds


• 1 pinch of crushed red chilies


• 3 quarts water


• 1 tablespoon kelp powder


• tamari

Directions

• Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot over a medium-high flame


• Add onions, garlic and ginger, allowing this mixture to soften and lightly brown


• Add the balance of the spices: garlic, pepper, turmeric, caraway seeds and red chilies


• Cook until well done


• Add water and bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes


• Add kelp and tamari to taste

**to this recipe, I added some komis bread (sourdough-rye) from the local German bakery, and some vegan melting cheez (I didn't heat it enough though, it didnt' melt haha)
