What to do with eggplant and 2% milk? I never drink milk except for skim milk, however, this week we had a 4L of 2% milk. Not wanting to actually drink the milk on its own and it was going to expire soon, I decided to make a soup with whatever veggies I had at home.
Ingredients:
1 eggplant
5 cloves of garlic
olive oil
1/2 - 1 cup of tomato puree
1 cup chicken broth
dried thyme
cayenne pepper
2 cup milk
Slice the eggplant, lay the slices on a pan and spread olive oil over it. On the same pan, add garlic and bake them in an oven for about 30 min at 375F.
In a pot, add chicken broth, roasted garlic and eggplant. Let it simmer for about 10 min. Add thyme, cayenne and tomato puree. Simmer for another 10 min. Use a hand blender and puree the soup. Lastly, add milk (can add more if you prefer a thinner soup).
THOUGHTS:
Turned out pretty good! Definitely didn't know what to expect but I quite like it. Only thing would be the seeds from tomato and eggplant that can get a bit annoying.
