Edamame soup

This soup provides as a better protein and fiber alternative to the green pea soup for a cold winter day. This has a milder odor compared to the pea soup which makes it more appealing.

Ingredients
Shelled Edamame - 1 cup ( fresh or frozen)
Cilantro leaves.     - 1/4 cup ( finely chopped)
Salt.                          - as per taste
Black Pepper.         - 1-2 tsps as per taste
Cumin powder.      - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder. - 1/2 tsp

To garnish:

Paprika powder    -1/2 tsp
Cranberries*          - 5-6
 Green onions        - finely  chopped

Steam cook the Edamame. Then blend it to a smooth paste, add the chopped cilantro,salt and spices and heat in a low flame until it comes to a boil. Switch off heat. Garnish with cranberries. Serve with rice or serve as such with tortilla chips.




* I used frozen cranberries so added it in the hot soup after keeping it out in the room temperature for a few minutes. The heat of the soup softens the cranberries bring out a tangy flavour to the soup.
