Its super cozy to slurp on your warm soup when its snowing outside. This persimmons soup has become my best friend this season. It has the perfect texture and well balanced flavors.

I love persimmons as a fruit. Its juicy, soft, tender and so sweet. Absolutely like a dessert.

I have used this fruit in many of my recipes like persimmon habanero soup, persimmon carrot hemp smoothie and every time this fruit surprises me with its versatility.

About Persimmons

Persimmons are a good source of Vitamin C and have valuable B-complex vitamins, are high in dietary fiber and minerals. This fruit originates from East Asia and is specific to China.

About black rice

Black rice is one of my favorite carbohydrates because it is extremely high in antioxidants and fiber. It is one of the nutritious carb indulgent and tastes delicious when cooked properly. I used gluten free Forbidden Black Rice for this soup recipe but there are many varieties of back rice available in any Asian store.

With Persimmons and Black Rice combined together into a soup and seasoned with simple herbs this Forbidden Black Rice Persimmons Soup turned out to be insanely delicious and my favorite winter meal.

Therefore, after many trials and testing I am ready to share this persimmon soup recipe with you.

Now, lets get into details of the ingredients a bit.

Ingredients notes:

black rice – glutenous black rice does not work here as it will make this soup starchy. So just get hold of forbidden black rice regular.

vegetable broth – I personally like low sodium one for my recipes but any works.

cardamom – you wont even taste it but will balance out the heat in this oil free persimmon soup.

sriracha powder – it looks like red chili powder but more spicy and adds the nice flavor to this recipe.

Next, I seasoned it with cardamom, ginger, cumin, oregano and sriracha powder.

Thereafter, I blended the soup and poured it back in the same saucepan.

I loved this soup with my family snuggling together under the blanket on our warm couch and watching our favorite show and Yashvi dancing all around us.
