Preparation

Carrot parsnip turnip curry soup is a spicy vegan recipe for lunch or dinner. This recipe will serve 4 to 8 adults depending on the cup or bowl size. Preparation time is about 20 minutes and cooking time is about 35-40 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for several days without losing its flavor.

Begin by washing, trimming, and peeling the veggies, as needed, and cut them into medium size pieces and place them in a large microwaveable covered baking dish, and cook in the microwave oven for about 30 minutes at 1000 watts (mixing every 10 minutes), or until the veggies are tender. The veggies can also be cooked in a conventional oven at 350 degrees F., but the cooking time will be longer.

When the veggies are tender, transfer some of them into the container of a high speed blender. add some water to fill in the voids between the veggies in the container to aid in blending, cover, and run the blender at high speed until the contents are smooth. If there are still veggies in the baking dish, transfer them into a mixing bowl, and pour the contents of the blender container into the baking dish. Repeat the process until all the veggies are processed.

Add the seasonings to the blenderized soup in the baking dish and mix well. Cover the baking dish, and cook for another 5 or more minutes to reheat the carrot parsnip turnip curry soup and blend the flavors.

Serve and Enjoy.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
