This soup and salad lunch with bread came about quite haphazardly. I was scrounging around for ingredients and this was the result: raw tomato soup with leftover marinated veggies and mushrooms, with a piece of Lydia’s Organics Sunflower Seed Bread.
Recipe for raw tomato soup (in a high-speed blender):
2 tomatoes
3-4 basil leaves
Dash of dried Italian herbs

The one thing I’m craving now is raw savoury soup. They are an all-time fave but I love them more in summer. I have my ever reliable everything-but-the-kitchen-sink raw green soups almost on a daily basis but sometimes I think I need to pamper myself a little.
I saw some delicious corn on sale at [...]
I was stuck in a raw soup rut — I kept whipping up my favourite cucumber curry dill soup and couldn’t be bothered to make different ones. But soon I found that I got tired of the same taste and consumed fewer greens because of this.
For me, two large green smoothies (be it in [...]
Instead of looking for new recipes for inspiration, I actually look backwards sometimes to re-create what I loved in the past.
Last year, I stumbled upon Jonsi & Alex’s website, a pair of raw foodies in Iceland (if they can do it in such a cold climate, so could we!) and I tried almost all their [...]
Adapted from Gena’s recipe from Choosing Raw, this raw spin on Thai red curry is scrumptious and oh-so-easy.
Recipe:
1 cup coconut milk (made from 2 cups dried coconut flakes and 1 cup water)
1/2 red capsicum
4 leaves of fresh basil
2 dates
Salt to taste
I sliced some basil leaves and chopped up some red capsicum and white mushrooms as [...]
One of my fave raw meals is a simple soup and salad combo. I got the recipe from Kristen’s Raw blog, and oh my, did it tantalise my taste buds. It’s one of the rare soups I’ve encountered that doesn’t have avocado, but I think it would taste fantabulous with some avo. What I like [...]
When I need an Asian fix, a simple raw soup like this can quell my cravings. You can’t taste the almond aroma so this is truly a savoury meal. As you can see, I love my kelp noodles.
Recipe:
Almond milk (blend ½ cup almonds with 1½ cups water; strain) 1½ cups
1 tbs white miso
1 slice ginger
1 [...]
I’m on a kelp noodle kick these days and loving raw Asian recipes.
Adapted from Jonsi & Alex’s recipe book, this raw miso soup includes avocado because I felt I needed a heavy meal. I was hungry…
Soup:
2 tsp white miso
½ avocado
1 slice ginger
1 clove garlic
½ cup water
Noodles/Salad:
Marinated shiitake mushrooms and white onion (shoyu, olive oil, [...]
I used to love cream of mushroom but had always got tummy troubles due to my lactose intolerance. When I turned raw, I wanted to re-create it and tried various recipes and the cream replacement was invariably almond milk. I wasn’t overly fond of the slight almond aroma mingled with mushrooms but obviously most raw [...]
Adapted from The Sunny Raw Kitchen, it’s one of those meals where it looks "meh" but it tastes so good.
I skipped the zucchini and replaced miso with shoyu as I don’t really like either in raw soups.
Makes two servings:
1/2 avocado
4 cups spinach
2 cups cucumber
1 cup tomato
1 celery stalk
1 garlic clove
1 green onion
1 tbs lemon juice
Handful [...]
