Turmeric-infused Vegetarian Soup Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 carrots, sliced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 1 zucchini, diced

• 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.

1. Add the sliced carrots, diced celery, and zucchini to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

2. Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

3. Once the soup is ready, remove it from the heat. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious of the hot liquid when using a regular blender, and blend in batches if needed.

4. Return the soup to the pot and heat it gently over low heat. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

5. Serve the turmeric-infused vegetarian soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra tangy twist, if desired.
