OMG! I can’t believe that cranberry soup is possible! Yeah! It’s practically in front of you in the pictures. It’s the reality. I actually cooked cranberry soup from scratch and I am so proud of my creation. 🙂

 

Ok Ok I know I am sounding little obsessed but I can’t get over the taste yet! 🙂 A mild Chinese aroma without any sauces and a ting of tangy flavor of the fresh cranberries with the nutrition of Arugula and lightly flavored with fresh lemon grass herb and red quinoa making this soup a whole some meal. Delicious! I can’t explain enough how I am amazed with the outstanding taste of this savory Red Quinoa Cranberry Arugula Soup. 🙂

I know every one of you must be having this question in mind that how I came up with cranberry soup in the first place and why I chose to be so experimental? Well my answer would be that my blog is defined as unique healthy recipes. 🙂 I wanted to create a unique whole some soup that could make a meal just like one pot dish to make week nights dinner easy for all my friends and of course myself. When I boiled the vegetable stock with fresh cranberries and fresh arugula I loved the color of the soup and when I blended the combo it was bright orangish red in color and that kept my interest in moving forward with the recipe which I had in my mind. By the end of the recipe when I poured the soup into two bowls – one for my husband and one for myself, to be honest I was scared in the beginning but when I saw my husband finishing the whole bowl of soup and smiling at me I decided to try the soup. I also finished the whole bowl and then looked at my husband giving him a knowing smile. This Red Quinoa Cranberry Arugula Soup flavored with lemon grass tasted heavenly and satisfied our tummies and kept us on our healthy eating track successfully. 🙂
