Soup Recipes

Thanks for the Soup Recipe, i like all the items used here,specially the vegges.

Veggies are what I like to be part of soups.

They bring in more flavor to the soup and gives you something to chew at the end. It's not just full of flavor, its also healthy as green leafy veggies help in the bodies cleansing ability.

So I always go for soups with a few veggies.

Even better than cooking the flavour and nutrients out of your soups would be a RAW soup.

Best of all worlds!

• flavour
• nutrition
• increased digestability
• Better assimilation & bio availability

Warm it up for an hour or so in the dehydrator or in a pan until it's finger hot or if you are using the vitamix, just leave it in the blender for a couple of minutes and there you have it! A non leukocytosis creating masterpiece!

I am posting here only because this thread seems to disappear completely off the board when no one has posted for a while. Someone was looking for the basic veggie soup recipe, and I wanted to help them find it....

But I'd like to comment on the above post that the beauty of soups is that you DON'T cook all the flavor and nutrients out of your food. Yes, the nutrients leave the veggies, but they go right into the BROTH and stay there! And when you keep the lid on, you lose very little in the steam.

Thanks again, Lahontahi! Got it! Tops of green vegetables -- what does that mean?

That means you can use the leaves of green vegetables, not just the stems: Celery leaves or brocoli leaves for example.

VEGETARIAN GUMBO
- a killer (tasty) soup for coming off the cleanse!!

Fill a large pot 1/2 full with water; set to boil while adding:
2 bay leaves
1 med. diced (or pureed) onion (brown or white)
4 med. diced cloves (segments) of garlic
2 T. Cajun seasoning.
1/2 t. Cayenne Pepper (or to taste)
1/2 t. Black Pepper (or to taste)
1 can diced tomatoes, including the canning juice (Del Monte makes a cajun seasoned one - but you can use reg., too)

Lower heat to slow boil while chopping and adding:
4 stalks of celery
2 Green Bell Peppers
2 Red Bell Peppers
2 med. zuchini
2 handfuls of green string beans
1/2 pkg. frozen peas (or 1 can - or fresh peas, if you can get 'em)

At the end add:
1/2 bunch of Kale, chopped into bite size (spoon size) pieces. Use the whole thing, even stems.
1/2 pkg. frozen, sliced okra (or fresh, if you live somewhere where they sell fresh okra)
Stir it all in, then turn off the heat, and keep pot covered so flavors blend while the soup cools down to eating temperature.

I made this for the first time while breaking my 07/10 cleanse, and it was fantastic!!!

I also do what I call "Progressive" soups.
Day 1 and 2 of the soup - I keep it simple with easy to digest veggies.
Day 3 onward I add something new each day:
Day 3 - 2 cups cooked rice
Day 4 - 1 lb. of shrimp
Day 5 - 1 can of corn
Day 6 - 1 can of red or black beans
Day 7 (lol - if it lasts that long!) - sliced smoked sausage.
So it eventually gets more and more like traditional gumbo - but starts out as "pure" veggie soup!

Also, since okra tends to fall apart, I often add a new handful of okra to the soup each day.

Happy eatin', y'all!!

When you say "can" of corn or beans, what size can? 8oz? 16oz? 28oz?

I mean the standard sized can that you find on most grocery store shelves - the kind that fits easily in your hand. I ran downstairs to check and all the cans I have around that size say 15 oz. You can tell that I am a "pure" cook - I don't measure too many ingredients - just throw in what "feels" right, lol ! Have tried to put in measurements for all of you who aren't used to cooking that way...but it's hard to figure out measurements when you rarely use them.

I have several recipes for corn chowder, but nothing for "sweet corn soup" - not sure what the difference between the two would be. Sorry.
