It was a cold rainy Saturday evening with beautiful droplets on my patio, the temperatures were going down and I was cuddled in a couch with my favorite blanket.

I was listening to my favorite soft melodious numbers and the sound of the rain droplets added to the music. Somewhere in my mind the bell was ringing Sss! Sss! Soup! Hot spicy Soup! The thought made me crave for it.

I looked at my husband who was also happily cuddled and we exchanged a knowing look and smiled at each other. He was craving for the same. My daughter was happily dancing to the tunes and enjoyed every moment of the rain.

I looked into my refrigerator and saw the baby carrots sitting in the fresh produce drawer and some cooked leftover amaranth on the top shelf. I knew what I wanted to cook that evening.

A whole some healthy meal came to my mind immediately and Spicy Carrot Amaranth Soup was created.

Making of Spicy Carrot Amaranth Soup

The moment I added cinnamon stick to the warm oil my house was full of fragrance and made me hungrier.

The sage leaves gave a tangy flavor to the soup and the garlic added to the flavor of the appetizing soup.

With the coconut milk and hemp seeds I added to the nutrition of the soup.

One bowl of Spicy Carrot Amaranth Soup satisfied my happy tummy and my family as well.

    This sounds lovely, I like the addition of amaranth, it’s a grain I don’t cook often enough! It is the perfect soup for a cold and rainy day, I hope I get some soon so I can whip this up!

    Loving this wholesome meal. Never combined the two, but I am sure it would be a lovely addition. The crunch from amaranth seeds would be lovely.

      its a must try. Amaranth is a complete protein grain and is more nutritious than quinoa even.

    I started making this recipe thinking it asked for fresh amaranth greens and since I didn’t have the type of amaranth it called for, I continued making it with the greens. It was pretty tasty!
