Yummy and easy
Yield: 6 servings
Source: Dr. Oz's website
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion cut into medium dice
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-in rounds
5 cups of vegetable stock
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp ginger juice
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish with 2 tsp of dill and dollop of plain yogurt
In a medium-sized pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Sweat until onions are soft (about 5-8 minutes). Stir often to prevent browning.
Add the carrots, cover pot and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes. Stir to prevent browning.
Add stock and oats to pot. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 25 minutes until carrots are tender.
Pour contents of the pot into a blender. Blend the soup until creamy. Add additional stock to desired consistency. Add lemon and ginger juice. Re-adjust seasonings. Garnish with a dollop of yogurt and dill and serve.
