Seasonal Soup: Carrot Soup with Sour Apples

I just made this as it was getting colder here and I wanted someone a little sweet for the comfort factor,  but also slightly spicy to warm my bones as well as sour. So I whipped this up with the leftovers from my last trip to the market, and it just hit the spot.

Ingredients for 1 big bowl
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 small onion (or any color), peeled and sliced
1 granny smith apple
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch chili powder
1 pinch turmeric
1 pinch cumin
salt and pepper to taste
flax seeds or raisins (optional)

Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a sauce pan, and throw all the ingredients (aside from the salt). If needed, add more water so the vegetables are covered, and lower heat to a simmer. Cover pan and let vegetables simmer for 20-30 minutes, until tender. Then turn off the heat and pour everything in a blender to mix on high. Season with salt, pepper and more spice as desired and serve immediately.

You can sprinkle some flax seeds or stir in some raisins if you like. This recipe is also good with a teaspoon or creme fraiche, yogurt or kefir. It keeps for 2-3 days.
