Yield: 4 cups
Ingredients:
8 ounces Moringa stalks, cut into 3-inch pieces
4 cups water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
Pinch cumin seeds
6 curry leaves
2 medium taro roots, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 green Thai chile, seeded
Kosher salt, to taste
1 lime, quartered, for serving
Freshly ground black pepper, for garnish
Directions:
1. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine all the ingredients, except for the lime wedges and pepper, over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 20 minutes.
2. Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse until the soup is coarsely puréed. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and strain, using a spoon to press out as much pulp as possible from the Moringa fibers. Discard the fibers.
3. Adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and divide between bowls. Squeeze a lime wedge over each bowl of soup. Then garnish with freshly ground black pepper and serve.
