    Title: Ash Gourd Soup
    Categories: Indian, Soups
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 c Ash gourd
    - (benincasa hispida);
    - diced
    1 sm Onion; chopped
    1 Celery rib; chopped
    1 ts Ginger; grated
    1 tb Ghee
    2 c Water
    Salt and pepper; to taste

    All gourd vegtables are extremely alkaline. The ash gourd is highly
    recommended, even for invalids. Gourd soups are very good for
    balancing the acid-alkaline state in the body.

    Peel and dice the gourd. Put gourd pieces in a pressure cooker with
    water, ginger, and half of the onion. Cook for 2 minutes after
    reaching full pressure. Put through a blender and keep aside. In a
    separate pan, saute the remaining onion and celery in ghee. Add the
    gourd mixture and salt and pepper to taste.
