Carrot & Broccoli Soup

Made another soup last night to use up the last my bone broth. I also had to use up the broccoli that has been in the fridge for a while so I gathered all the veges I could find including the stuff from the backyard to make the soup!

Ingredients:

4 carrots, chopped

1 broccoli, chopped (including the stalk)

1 onion, sliced

handful of kale

handful of spinach

herbs (chives, parsley, basil and oregano from the backyard)

1 can coconut cream

2 cups bone broth

salt

pepper

Place all the ingredients in a pot and bring to boil.
Simmer for about half an hour or until the vegetables are soft.
Cool for a bit and blend in a blender. Serve warm.

Carrot & Cabbage Soup

It's getting a bit chilly here in Perth and both my boyfriend and I are a bit sick. Something warm in the belly always feels good so I made vegetable soup! I know... eurgh... vegetable soup... that sounds gross... But try this and you may just love it! Blended vegetable soup is one of the yummiest things in winter! You can throw in any vegetable you like, boil it down and blend it. My other recipes include sweet potato or cauliflower, but I needed them to make my cauliflower mash and baked sweet potato for my surf and turf and we were running low so I just threw in other veges I could find in the fridge and voila!

Ingredients:

2 cups bone broth

1 can coconut cream

1/4 cabbage, chopped

6 carrots, chopped

1 onion, sliced

herbs (I used chives, oregano, basil and parsley from the backyard, lots of it)

salt

pepper

Put everything in a pot and bring to boil.
Simmer for about half an hour or until the vegetables are soft.
Blend everything in a blender and serve.

Bone Broth

Bone broth is one of the healthiest foods you can have. All you need to do is to invest in a slow cooker so you can let it cook while you're away. You can either save up a bag of bones in the freezer or buy a big bone from the supermarket.

Ingredients:

Bone

1/4 cup Vinegar (I used Apple Cider Vinegar)
Water
Salt

Put the bone in the slow cooker and fill it up with hot water until the bone is covered.
Pour in the vinegar and add salt.
Set the slow cooked on high until it is boiling, and then turn it down to low.

I let mine cook for 48 hours before I turned it off. You can then freeze it, which is what I did, and use it as a stock or drink it like that or cook it with vege. Be creative!
