Hey guys!

I wanted to show a resourceful way to use scraps that we normally throw away, so for this episode I wanted to use the carrot peel I was making into a stock! The other recipe for the salad was equally yum so check it out here.

Ingredients

  • Left-over Carrot Peel

  • Chives

  • Miso Paste

  • White Onion

  • Peppercorns

  • Pepper

  • Salt

  • Soy Milk

  • Plant-based Butter (sunflower)

  • Tomato Puree

  • Vegetable Oil

So the easiest thing in the world is to wash and boil your leftover peel for a stock, I literally only used carrots and kept it on a slow boil for about an hour to reduce down and soften.

So firstly, dice your onion. Adding to a hot pan, add peppercorns and white pepper, a drizzle of vegetable oil and your onions. You want to cook these until they almost burn because that sweetness adds depth to the flavor. Add some plant-based butter, your liquid part of your stock, and bring to the boil. Add a tsp of miso paste, add four cups of water, half a cup of soy milk, and 2tsp smoked paprika and 1 tbsp tomato puree. Add the remaining carrots from the stock and start to cook down. Add to a blender and pulse until smooth!

So here we go! The simplest, yummiest miso carrot soup, from leftover scraps you’d normally throw away. Serve with bread and some chives.

One of my themes for Issue Five, was to be resourceful with food we normally throw away, so whilst I was planning to make a carrot salad, I used the leftover...
