Pineapple, Lime, and Ginger Soup

Submitted by: Lakshmi Jaishankar

" This is a hot soup from India made with pineapple and lime juice,

enhanced with the flavors of ginger, green chili peppers, and cumin seeds.

It smells and tastes so good that you could just keep drinking. Good with

rice. Tip: Roll limes against a hard surface with the palm of your hand to

make them soft. This helps get the juice out. "

 

Ingredients:

1 (1 inch long) piece ginger, peeled

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 to 2 green chili peppers

2 cups water

1 cup crushed pineapple, fresh or canned

1 tomato, diced - optional

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

5 to 6 sprigs fresh cilantro

2 limes, juiced

1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds

 

 

 

Directions:

1 Use a blender to grind the ginger, 1 teaspoon cumin, and green chili

peppers.

2 In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup water, pineapple, tomato, and salt.

Place over a low heat. When the pineapple and water have come to boil, add

the ground mixture. Raise and lower the heat to bring to a boil several

times. Add the remaining water, and bring to a boil again. Add cilantro, and

remove from heat. Mix in lime juice.

3 In a small pan, heat butter or oil over medium heat, and add the

remaining cumin seeds. Fry till golden, and add to the soup as a garnish.
