Ingredients
- 400 grams okra
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece large onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 1 piece carrot
- 2 pieces large tomato
- 1 liter vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bunch fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the okra thoroughly under cold water. Cut off the tops and tails, then slice the okra into 1 cm pieces.
Step 2
Dice the onion and red bell pepper, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the carrot and tomatoes into small pieces.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 4
Add the diced red bell pepper and carrot to the pot. Stir the vegetables occasionally and cook for another 5 minutes until they soften.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and sliced okra. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to release their juices.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with ground coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to integrate everything.
Step 7
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the flavors meld.
Step 8
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the soup before serving to add a touch of freshness.
Step 10
Serve the Nut-Free Okra Soup hot, with crusty bread or as a standalone dish. Enjoy!
