I picked up this recipe from one of my favorite health food markets. At first I was a bit skeptical to try it, because of the description "Pungent", but had all the ingredients available so decided to try it anyway. And oh my, it was an amazing cooking experience! The aroma of the sauteed garlic and onions took over my kitchen. I would have to say this soup is fantastic! The combination of intense flavors are divine. I added a large bay leaf while simmering. And made crispy little heart shaped crostini from sprouted bread and coconut oil. Was a perfect lite and romantic dinner.
