This healing soup, incredibly delicious, healthy, and perfect for warming your soul, is a nutrient powerhouse you’ll want to make again and again.
🌟 Ingredients:
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup golden beets, peeled and chopped
2 cups carrots, peeled and chopped into half-moons
2 cups cauliflower, chopped
5 cups chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
🛠️ Directions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Build the Soup Base
Add the chopped celery, golden beets, carrots, and cauliflower to the pot.
Stir the vegetables to coat them in the aromatic mixture, cooking for 5-7 minutes to bring out their natural flavors.
3. Add the Broth
Pour in the chicken broth (or vegetable broth).
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
4. Blend (Optional)
For a creamy texture, use an immersion blender to partially or fully purée the soup.
Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches (be careful with the hot liquid) and blend until smooth.
For a chunky texture, skip this step and enjoy the vegetables as they are.
5. Season to Taste
Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Stir in any additional spices or herbs, such as turmeric, ginger, or thyme, for extra healing properties and flavor.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the soup into bowls.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread or a light salad on the side.
