Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 50g butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2cm piece ginger, finely grated
  • 1kg carrots, peeled, chopped
  • 20.00 ml thyme leaves, plus extra, to serve
  • 7.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1.5L vegetable liquid stock
  • 65g (1/3 cup) Persian (marinated) feta, crumbled
  • 1 lemon, zest peeled into thin strips
  • Crusty bread rolls (optional), to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil and butter. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger for 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Increase heat to high, stir in carrots, thyme, and cumin, and cook for 7 minutes until carrots start to brown. Pour in stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes until carrots are tender and easily crushed with a spoon.
  • Blend the carrot mixture with a stick blender until velvety smooth, then season generously with salt and pepper. Yields 2 liters of deliciousness.
  • Ladle soup into bowls, sprinkle with feta, lemon zest, and extra thyme. Enjoy with bread rolls on the side, if desired.
