                            - 1 tsp lemon juice
 
                      - 1/4 tsp black pepper
 
  
    Directions
      
					    - spray large skillet with PAM and when hot add cumin seeds,  carom seeds, and asafetida 
 
                        - add carrots, celery, and ginger; sauté for about 12 minutes  until carrots are soft
 
                        - puree mixture in blender on high speed with 2 cups of water;  add water as needed to puree
 
                        - pour mixture back into skillet and add salt, stevia, and  garlic powder; bring to boil on medium high heat
 
                        - add more water if desired (I prefer my soup thin so I add  another cup of water)
 
                        - when boils, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes
 
                        - add black pepper and lemon
                        
                          - note all spices available in an Indian grocery store or may  be found in the international aisle in your local grocery store
                        
 
                         - tastes even more delicious the next day
