Blue Sky

Have you ever looked up straight at the vast blue sky...slivers of cloud...bluest blue? It feels so ethereal, so out of this world - like reaching out to the beyond. It's almost humbling! A force so much bigger than us....


Beautiful Earth!

Hello friends! It's been exactly a year since I started this blog. It's been both a very freeing as well as a grounding experience! Thank you to all those who have read my posts. 

Happy 1st Anniversary!!

CREAMY CORN SOUP for the chilly days!


Here is a chill busting, grounding soup recipe that will also warm your souls!!


     
Ingredients                                               
                                                                           
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (12 oz) frozen corn
1 medium size Russet potato
1 cup chopped zucchini
1 medium size onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic
1 Serrano pepper chopped 
1 cup vegetable broth or water
½ cup coconut milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Method

Heat the oil. Add the garlic, onions and potatoes. Saute them until they turn light brown. Now add the corn, zucchini and serrano pepper. Saute for 4-5 minutes on medium high. Add the broth, salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat and cook covered on medium low until potatoes are cooked. Stir in the coconut milk and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the soup cool (maybe an hour or so).


Once the soup has come to room temperature, puree it in a blender until smooth. You can also sieve the soup to get a smoother texture. Serve the soup warm garnished with cilantro.
