So, how to make Healthy Eggplant Soup?

Steps to make Healthy Eggplant Soup

1	Grill eggplant	25
Cut a cross-hatch pattern into the flesh of the eggplant halves, deeply and drizzle olive oil over the top. Grill for 20 minutes until browned and softened.
2	Reserve flesh	10
Using a spoon, scoop out the center flesh from the eggplant, chop roughly and set aside for later use.
3	Sauté garlic and onions and mushrooms	8
In a large pot over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Add the onions, garlic and mushrooms, if using, and sauté for 8 minutes until onions have softened and the mushrooms have begun to release juices. Reserve ¼ cup mushrooms to add to the soup 5 minutes before serving, if you wish.
4	Add stock and eggplant	10
Add the stock or water and eggplant and bring the pot to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
5	Add seasoning	2
Add the basil, thyme, salt and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes.
6	Blend vegetables	5
Remove the whole vegetables from the pot and place in a food processor. Blend together until smooth.
7	Reheat soup	5
Place the blended vegetables back in the soup pot and reheat to a simmer.
8	Add sour cream	5
Once your soup is ready, transfer to soup serving bowls and pour 1 tablespoon sour cream, yogurt or whipping cream over each serving.
9	Serve	2
Garnish with pesto and serve a baked bread of your choice!
