Nourishing Root Vegetable Soup

Hey everyone! If you have been following my facebook page, you will see that I've been talking recently about listening to what your body wants not what your taste buds want! I started following this and ended up making some amazing soup! 

I had been craving beets & bone broth for about a week. I'm a semi-vegetarian simply because I'm not a fan of the taste of meat. I think if animals are properly raised and cared for then it should be okay. We should never take more than what we need, in my opinion. 

My husband and I subscribed to a CSA. A CSA is a local crop share. You can buy these through local farmers and get fresh, in-season produce weekly. This day we got purple potatoes & some greens-- along with many other things! 

I decided to make a root vegetable soup. Even thinking about it now, my mouth begins to water. I went out to my garden and harvested some of my beets, kohlrabi, and tomatoes as well! I had bone broth in my freezer from when I had made it recently. 

It was fairly simple to make & I loved it! I felt so nourished and satisfied-- I didn't even want dessert or a snack later- which is odd for me! 

Root Vegetable Soup

Ingredients: (Use Organic Whenever Possible)

1 Quart of Bone Broth (I used Turkey)
1 Sweet Potato
4-6 Purple Potatoes
3 Medium Beets
1 Medium Kohlrabi
1/2 medium onion
1 handful of mixed greens (anything will do, kale, spinach, lettuce, etc)
mixed herbs (I used cilantro, parsley, and garlic chives)

Directions:

1- First wash & chop your veggies

2- In a stock pot combine some type of oil (I used coconut oil), onions, and chives and sautee until they are translucent.

3- Add in bone broth and chopped veggies.

4- Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes

5- Add in herbs

6- Turn heat down to low and cover, stirring occasionally. 

7- Let it cook slowly for about 20-30 minutes. 

8- Dish it up into bowls or mugs! I ate mine with a slice of a fresh baguette slathered with coconut oil! It was delicious!
