108 CHAKRA SOUPS recipe 8 - Simply happy - "Manipura chakra"

Manipura Chakra or manipuraka the fiery third chakra is called the "lustrous gem.", it is symbolised by a downward pointing triangle with ten petals. 

Located in the area of the solar plexus, navel, and the digestive system. Associated with the color yellow, this chakra is involved in self-esteem, warrior energy, and the power of transformation; it also governs digestion and metabolism. A healthy, spirited third chakra supports us in overcoming inertia, jump-starting our "get-up-and-go" attitude so that we can take risks, assert our will, and assume responsibility for our life. This chakra is also the place of our deep belly laughter, warmth, ease, and the vitality we receive from performing selfless service.

Recipe 8: Manipura, "Simply happy"
Preparation:

The soups have to be made with fresh ingredients. Please avoid as much as possible canned or even frozen food because it impacts not only the taste but also the nutrient aspects. I also advice of please do not freeze the soup. Nor use microwave.

In general my recipe are for 2 meals for one person or one meal for two people. You can always cut the ingredients in half, if you want to make it less. 

When possible it is better if the soup can rest for sometimes before to be warmed up again and eaten. The rest will allow the flavours of the various ingredients to better melt into each other and bring up the final taste of the soup.

Ingredients:

1 oignon

1 or two clove of garlic

3 spoons of bio vegetable oil

2 carrots
1 cup of green moong dhal

1 red bell pepper
a big piece of yellow squash 
curry leaves 
curry mix powder

1 Bio vegetable cube

2 full spoons of olive oil
a small piece of ginger
small piece of turmeric
fresh cilantro

Put the oil into the pot add the onion previously cut  into pieces, the garlic. Let it fry a little while you will be cutting the other vegetables. Add the vegetables, the green moong dhal, the cube, 1 liter of boiling filtered water, the fresh turmeric and ginger grated. Add a little bit of curry mix powder.
I never add any extra salt, the one contained in the cube is already enough!
Once the mix is boiling lower the flame and let it cook 40 min, stir it once in a while. Five min before switching off add the fresh cilantro.

Once done switch off, add the 2 spoons of olive oil and stir. Let it cool down a bit before blending it in the pot itself. Let is sit so the different flavours can blend,  warm it up before eating.
