Ingredients
1 TBSP olive oils
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 small sweet potato, cubed
1 C butternut squash, cubed
4 C vegetable broth (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
1 can coconut milk (for creaminess)
2 C kale or spinach, chopped
1 tsp turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory)
1 tsp cumin powder (digestive support)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh lemon juice (optional)
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
1 C cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional for extra fibre)
Method
1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
2. Add the veggies: Stir in the carrots, celery, sweet potato, and butternut squash. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Season and simmer: Add the turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add creaminess and greens: Stir in the coconut milk and chopped greens. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
5. Add probiotics (optional): Remove from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly before stirring in the miso paste or apple cider vinegar. This preserves the beneficial probiotics.
6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve with quinoa or brown rice for extra fibre and a complete meal
