Nourishing Meatball Soup

December 30, 2013

I'm going strong on the GAPS diet and I'm approaching the four month mark this January. I have seen so much improvement in my health, that I'm happily continuing the diet in an attempt to heal my stomach after longterm antibiotic use. This is the latest soup I've added to my list of healthy soups. It's one of those soups where you can throw in whatever veggies you've got in the fridge and it's pretty much guaranteed to taste great.

Homemade Fish Soup

November 25, 2013

In case you're wondering, it isn't easy to make a fish soup look appetizing in photographs. However, this soup tastes so good that I'm going against my better judgment and sharing the pictures with you anyway.

Truth be told, I've always been too intimidated to do anything with fish besides bake it. Unless it's salmon, I never know when it's fully cooked, and after too many failed attempts with cod, I decided it's just easier to stick with chicken or some other meat.

Pumpkin Ginger Soup

October 14, 2013

It's pretty safe to say that pumpkin reigns over fall food and drink, so I was eager to experiment with it this season. I've never had pumpkin that wasn't from a can (is that weird?), so it seemed sort of daunting to me to use the real deal. I realize now that...

Roasted Beet & Butternut Squash Soup

October 3, 2013

This is the first year I've started cooking with beets, and I'm just starting to develop a taste for them. As long as the beet flavor isn't too powerful, like in beet brownies or this liver cleansing beet juice, I'm happy. The other day I made this roasted beet and butternut squash soup. It's easily customizable if you don't eat meat, too. Perfect for fall, this is a hearty yet healthy soup.

Detox Broccoli Arugula Soup

July 31, 2013

Packed with vitamins A and K, a ton of fiber, and anti-inflammatory properties, broccoli is a powerhouse in the veggie world. Arugula also has vitamin K, lots of fiber and anti-inflammatory properties, but it also is high in B vitamins making it beneficial for hair, nails and skin. This recipe comes from It's All Good, but I altered it a bit, as the first time I made this soup it came out too watery. You can make it in 10 minutes...

Sweet Potato Soup

May 28, 2013

We bit the bullet and bought our own vitamix. My mom had generously given us hers for the summer, but Whole Foods had a vitamix rep who offered a deal we couldn't refuse and now we don't have to inconvenience my mom for hers. The temps have been in the 80s all week so I made this soup inspired by a sweet potato recipe in thisbook and served it cold. I'm not usually a big fan of cold soups, but this worked well. It's a blended soup, so it had this whipped consistency which I loved. It took five minutes to make, so if you're looking for an easy meal this is the one to try.
