Habanero Basil Sour Soup

This soup has a nice spicy background flavor with that fresh garden basil taste up front.

Ingredients

  • 1 Bunch Basil
  • 3 Onions
  • 20 Cloves Garlic
  • 7 Carrots
  • 15 Habaneros
  • 3 Inches Ginger
  • The stem from a head of cauliflower
  • 1/2 Pound Shaved Steak
  • The tops from that cauliflower from earlier
  • 2 Teaspoons Cumin
  • 1/2 Cup Rice Vinegar
  • Rice Noodles

Instructions

  • For the stock I put a bunch of basil, 3 onions, about 20 cloves of garlic, 7 carrots, 15 habaneros with none of the seeds, 3 inches of ginger, and the stem from one head of cauliflower into a stockpot and covered them with water. Boil covered for about an hour. Strain, then reduce for another hour lightly simmering. When it's time to eat, sear about a half pound of shaved steak, then add the tops of the cauliflower that you used the stems of in the stock. Pour the stock in and 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1/2 cup of rice vinegar. Simmer about 10 minutes before serving. Cook the rice noodles separately and mix together as you make your bowl.
