We ate a soup at our friend Astrid’s who is a great cook. And since she had a French mother, we have pretty much exactly the same taste. We know exactly what we think is ‘délicieux’ from each other. She made a soup with fried lemon zest in it. Not normally tasty. And so I made it a few days later in the restaurant. Almost too good to be true.

Ingredients

  • 2 Onions

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 3 yellow peppers

  • 2 sweet potatoes

  • 2 yellow zucchini

  • 3 organic lemons

  • 2 vegetable broth

  • salt and pepper

  • 1 package Saffron Dye powder

  • olive oil

Cooking time

  • Put all the vegetables – with the exception of the lemon – roughly chopped in a baking dish. You have to peel the sweet potato first. Add coarse sea salt and ground black pepper. Pour olive oil over it, about 50 milliliters I would say. So don’t be too frugal. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 200 degrees and let the vegetables bake for about 30 minutes. They can get a brown edge here and there. That will benefit the taste later.
  • Meanwhile, peel the zest of the lemons and cut them into pieces.
    Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the skin for about 10 minutes. Again, let the skin brown a little.
  • Remove the vegetables from the oven. Put them in your stockpot and pour over 2 liters of water and add the stock cubes. Let everything boil for 5 minutes. Stir well. Then add the lemon peels and the sachet of saffron food coloring and puree with a hand blender. It should be a nice smooth soup. If it’s too thick, you can add some more oat milk or water. Bring it to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with a string of white tahina and some nigella seeds.
