Lena Loved My Wellness Soup!

Jan 12th, 2009

I got a great audio testimonial from one subscriber who loved my Wellness Soup.  Listen Here.  Lena was going to go out for takeout but got inspired by my soup recipe and decided to stay home and make her own.  She substituted wildly (using what she had on hand and what her tastebuds fancied).  She loved it…you can hear it in her voice.  Listen Here.

This is the picture she sent showing her delicious version.  Click on the picture to see a larger view.  Yummy!

Wellness Soup Recipe

Jan 12th, 2009

While at a local coffee shop with friends, we interviewed each other about our Wild Wellness action.  Here’s one they recorded of me describing Cheryl’s Wellness Soup (50 seconds).

Now here’s a recipe for my Wellness Soup.   If you’re thinking about being healthier and losing weight, this soup will serve you well!

I love to make soup without a recipe.  I call it intuitive cooking.  Here’s a great soup I just made and ate – two bowls!  It was particularly satisfying and yummy–that’s why I’m calling it Wellness Soup.

If you don’t have all of the ingredients, feel free to substitute wildly.  I did not measure anything when I made this soup, but I’ve tried to give you approximate measurements.

Use your intuition (and what you have on hand) to select ingredients that will provide you with optimal wellness–that means it must be soothing, satisfying, and tasty!

CHERYL’S WELLNESS SOUP

Medium sized soup pot
Saute in 2 TBS olive oil (3-4 minutes – onion will look semi transparent)

*2 cloves of garlic
*1 whole onion – sliced or diced
*Portabella mushrooms – sliced or diced

Add broth (I used a 1 quart box of Imagine Organic, Free Range Chicken Broth).  Add an additional couple of cups of water.

Chop vegetables roughly and add to the soup pot (medium to medium high heat):

*Celery – 2 -3 stalks
*Carrots – 2 carrots or a handful of baby carrots – chopped
*Small head of Bok Choy (or other greens like spinach)
*1 zucchini (or summer squash)
*1 can black eyed peas (or other bean)

Cook for 20 minutes or so on medium heat.  The veggies will be soft but not soggy.

You can make a strictly veggie version of this soup or add some spicy Italian sausage.

BTW – some people say that eating black eyed peas and greens makes for a healthy, prosperous new year.

Let me know how you like it!  I’m still smiling and satisfied.
