Ingredients
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1/2 inch finely chopped ginger
1/3 cup finely chopped spring onion
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped carrots
1/3 cup finely chopped fine bean (French beans)
2 cups vegetable stock
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper powder
1 tablespoon corn flour/arrowroot flour
½ – 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
In a pan, heat the oil and add ginger and garlic and sauté for a minute. Next add the spring onions. Cook the onions until they turn transparent. This will take about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
Add the finely chopped carrots, beans and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add half the coriander and cook for 30 seconds.
In a bowl, combine the corn flour with 2-3 tablespoons of water until there are no lumps to make cornflour slurry.
Add the vegetable stock and bring the soup to a rolling boil.
Add the salt, pepper, remaining coriander and cornflour slurry and bring the soup to a boil.
Once the soup has come to a boil, turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. I would recommend adding half a tablespoon first and taste the soup and add more according to your taste.
Mix well and serve the soup piping hot.
