Hi Denny,
Just wondering why you do not saute the onions for this soup. It does help bring out the flavor and add sweetness.
Thanks,
Lynn
This is the response to the onion question from my wife, Susan.
Hi Lynn,
I compose my recipes with a specific intention in mind. Of course I want my food to taste delicious but I am most interested in creating a type of
energetic quality from the dishes I create. By choosing specific cooking techniques, ingredients and seasonings we are making a conscious choice
for the type of energy we want to create and in turn receive from our food. The intention for this soup is to have a relaxing, calming and soothing effect
on our body. It also helps to stabilize blood sugar and especially helpful for hypoglycemia, having a settling quality. For this reason I choose to just allow the vegetables to cook themselves. Sautéing creates a more “active” energetic effect. Thank you for your interest and I hope this answers your question.
Sincerely,
Susan Waxman
