Vegtable Tahini Soup


I made this soup like three days ago but was terrified that I'd be unable to photograph it. You see, I came very close to destroying my cheap digital camera in The Great Purse Spill of Last Wednesday. Ladies, make sure your water bottle cap is screwed on tight if you put it in your purse.

Oh, and my inspiration for this recipe came from here.

Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes, quartered
2-3 handfuls baby carrots
1 large red onion
1/3 cup tahini
6 cloves garlic
2 tsp. cumin seeds
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. dried chili flakes
2-3 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
The juice of one lemon
Water, if needed
Chopped cilantro for garnish

Saute your onions in olive oil. Add tomatoes and carrots. Add bay leaves, cumin seeds, chili flakes and turmeric. Pressure cook for one whistle or simmer until all is soft. Add garlic and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add lemon juice and water. Put this mix in a blender with the tahini and mix well.

Healthy and delicious.
