Chai Seed Soup Recipe

If you read my 'New Food Discovery' you will know that I have recently discovered chai seeds.  I briefly mentioned my chai seed soup and some of you asked for the recipe so here it is. 

All you need is the following:

·         1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

·         1 large onion, diced

·         1 small chilli, seeded and chopped finely

·         2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

·         3 cups water

·         2 tsp vegetable stock powder

·         1 can diced tomatoes

·         ½ tsp dried oregano

·         1 tsp dried coriander

·         ½ tsp ground cumin

·         1 can mixed beans (or can of your favourite beans)

·         1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn

·         3 tablespoons chia seeds

·         2 tbsp lime juice

·         1 tortilla or pita bread

•  In a medium saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat.
•  Add the onion and chilli and cook while stirring for 5 minutes until onion is translucent. 
• Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add the water, stock powder, tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper – bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
•  Add the beans and corn and reduce heat to medium to simmer for around 5 minutes.
•  Add chia seeds, 1 tablespoon at a time and stir slowly to thicken soup.
•  Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted tortilla/pita crisps.
