Creamy Carrot Soup (Raw)

I love this soup! This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite raw food chefs, Diana Stobo.

Creamy Carrot Soup

2 cups carrot juice (approx 18-20 carrots depending on size)
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 avocado (save 1/4 of it for garnish)
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon cold pressed olive oil (I use Braggs)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Blend all of the above in a high speed blender.

Garnish:

1/4 avocado from above, diced
Plus any/all of these:
Red Pepper, 1-2 tablespoons, diced
Jicama, 1-2 tablespoons, diced
Cucumber, 1-2 tablespoons, diced

Makes 1 large serving or 2 regular servings.

Enjoy!

Other times I might use cucumber, fresh peas (you could use frozen peas too - just rinse briefly under cold water to thaw), red pepper, tomatoes, fresh raw corn just off the cob. Here's how I made it today.

The kelp noodles are long and kind of unruly to eat, so I use a clean pair of scissors (reserved for food use only) to cut them in to smaller, easy-to-manage pieces (2 inches or so). Place the cut kelp noodles in a medium bowl and squeeze lime or lemon juice over the noodles and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the Kale Salad.
