Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tspn cumin seeds
  • 2 medium onions
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tspn juniper berries (optional)
  • 3 medium yellow squash
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tspn Dijon mustard
  • ¾ cup fresh basil
  • 1 tspn sea salt
  • 1-2 kg 2-4 pounds ripened juicy tomatoes

Instructions

  • Clean and roughly chop the vegetables.
  • In a heating saucepan, put cumin seeds to roast for 1 minute.
  • Add diced onions and stir, then add oil and junipers. Stir and cover to cook for 4 mins stirring now and then.
  • Bring in the squash. Stir well, then cover to cook for 2 mins.
  • Season with salt, mustard, and paprika. Give a stir and cover for 2 mins.
  • Add the tomatoes and some basil leaves. Give a good stir, then simmer for 20 mins, stirring every 5 mins.
  • Cut off the heat and leave the soup to cool for 30 mins or so.
  • Before blending the soup, add some more basil leaves for more flavor.
  • Serve while warm or cold, depending on the weather.
  • We love this yellow squash soup served with bread or either rice, quinoa, millet, or buckwheat.

Notes

  • You don't need to add any liquid if your tomatoes are juicy. If that isn't the case, add 2 cups of boiling water; however, the texture and flavor will not be the same.
PS/ I omitted the Dijon mustard on the photo.
