|
This page as PDF We tried another raw recipe, this time a raw soup. We really enjoyed it, it was a blend of many of our favorite fruits and vegetables.
Yield: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups pumpkin or butternut squash, chopped
- 1 banana
- 1/2 leek, white part only
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 pinches cumin
- 1/2-3/4 cup apple juice
- 2-3 Tbs. almond flour
- thyme
- salt
Directions:
- Chop the pumpkin into small pieces, or grate.
- Slice the leek into small rings.
- Mince the garlic.
- Place in a blender with the apple juice and puree to a smooth consistency.
- Add the seasonings and taste.
- Add the almond flour to thicken.
- Depending on what you like, season with more slat, a dash of cayenne or more cumin.
- You can make the soup thinner with more apple juice.
Notes:
I combined ingredients from both of the recipes at Gone Raw. As my husband is allergic to raw apples, I did not put the raw apples in as one of the recipes suggests, however did use fresh organic apple juice which seems to be o.k. for him. I would suggest that you don’t make this too far in advanced from serving, as because of the banana, the soup becomes darker and stronger with banana flavor.

Wow, this soup sounds interesting and delicious! The veggies/fruits are some of my favorite.
I find it interesting that your husband is allergic to apples – is it just stomach sensitivities, or actual immune system attack? How did he find out? I’m curious because as much as I like apples, they tend to not agree with my stomach, but I thought it was from the fruit sugars.
I am reacting allergic to most fresh fruit and some juices of the Maloideae family. Symptoms are upset stomach, diarrhea etc. Instinctively I learned to avoid the food and allergy tests also confirmed it.
this souo is the best! mmm
Many apple allergies are linked to how those apples are grown not the apples.
That’s why organic apples ‘worked for him’.
Hi Monika,
You’re right!…I knew that about wheat and other grains…in food that people have been eating…causing such allergic reactions…but had forgotten about the apples… both of our trees are organic. Thank you for reminding me.
RAW pumpkin soup recipe? I thought pumpkin can not be eaten raw. Can I just boil the pumpkin pieces in advance before putting them into the blender? Anyway, I will definitely try it because it really interests me. Thanks.
Hi Chinese Vegetarian,
Actually..it tastes great raw…and is not harmful. But yes, of course you can cook it first and then put it in the blender…whichever you find best for you. I’m sure it will be good either way.
