Roasted Eggplant Soup


Wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Trust you are all having a great time with your family and love ones :-)

This Roasted Eggplant Soup is just the perfect hot fix for a cold winter evening. It's creamy, satisfying and simple to make. I like to serve this soup with a couple of crispy and slightly salty Bacon Toasts. I will post the bacon toast recipe next.

Roasted Eggplant Soup

Ingredients

2 (About 950 g) Medium Eggplants, cubed (1 inch)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
¼ tsp Sea Salt

4 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Large Yellow Onions, peeled and finely shopped
2 Cloves Garlic, peeled and chopped


1 Large Potato, peeled and diced

2 Tins/Cans (794/28 oz)) Diced/Chopped Tomatoes

4 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
A handful Fresh Coriander, chopped

1 tsp Ground Cumin

¼ tsp Smoked Paprika
Sea Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper



Method



Preheat the oven to 450˚F.



Toss the eggplants with ½ tsp cumin, sea salt, and 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large baking tray. Roast in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes or until soft.


Heat the olive oil in a large pot; add onion and garlic with a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture until soft and translucent but not brown in color. Then turn the heat on high and mix in the eggplants, potato, tomatoes, coriander, cumin, and paprika. Sauté the mixture for about 3 to 5 minutes, and add the chicken or vegetable stock. Then bring it to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes.



Allow the soup mixture to cool slightly before you puree it with a handheld blender. Bring the soup back to the boil and season with some salt and pepper. Serve warm with some crusty bacon toast.

Serves 6

    Looks great, but not familiar with your writing style. is that 2 eggplants @ 950 gr. each, or 2 eggplants with a total weight of 950 grams?
    Thanks

    I'm not a fan of eggplant, but somehow yours look really good, and the thought of having this with your bacon toasts sound fantastic!

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video. UPDATED: November 26th 2013 This is an updated post with a new photo and video cooking guide. Dumplings Ingredients 200g Ground Pork 100g Prawns, finely chopped 200g Napa Cabbage, finely shredded 1 stalk Scallions, finely minced 80g Chives, finely chopped 20g Ginger, finely minced 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce 1 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil 1 1/2 Tbsp Shaoxing W
