I love cassava soup, especially on those cold or exhausting days when only a warm, cozy dish will do.
Besides being super easy to prepare, it’s free from milk, gluten, and sugar.
This recipe is very simple, nutritious, and a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
If you’re looking for a simple, practical, tasty, and nutritious dinner, this recipe is a great choice!
Ingredients:
• 1kg peeled cassava
• 2 medium chopped onions
• 6 chopped garlic cloves
• Parsley and green onions to taste
• Water to cover the cassava in the pot
• Salt to taste
• Spices and peppers as you like
Instructions:
1. In a pressure cooker, place the cassava, salt, and enough water to cover.
2. Cook until the cassava is very soft (about 30 minutes).
3. Then, blend the cassava with a bit of the cooking water in a blender and set aside.
4. In the same pot, sauté the garlic and onion with a drizzle of olive oil until golden.
5. Add the blended cream to the pot and let it boil for a bit.
6. Season with turmeric, dried herbs, peppers, and salt to taste.
7. Finish with parsley and green onions on top, turn off the heat, and serve.
Additional Information:
If you want the soup to be more nutritious, just cook other vegetables along with the cassava, like carrots, parsnips, yams, or pumpkin. After blending, it will have a smooth, intuitive texture full of flavor.
If you enjoy a spicier tone, use fresh red chili peppers (remove the seeds, of course).
To add a unique flavor without the heat, use aromatic peppers, which will give your soup a wonderful flavor!
And for a prettier look and fresh taste at the end, toss in some chopped kale leaves or more fresh herbs on top.
They cook quickly with just the heat of the soup.
This recipe is practical, yields well, and pleases both those on a restricted diet and anyone looking to eat more lightly.
Oh, and it’s great for freezing. I always keep a little container in the freezer — it’s a lifesaver when I don’t have time to cook.
Make it your own and tell me how it turns out!
