The winter has been pretty bleh, partly because Dara and I haven't been able to get together until now to have another soup adventure! At last we unite, on the cusp of Spring, the green beer of St Paddy's still caked in
the carpet. Hence, a cleansing green soup seems appropriate.
Try this delicious hearty green soup Dara and I have created, and feel the renewal of Springiness...
Green soup of renewal
1 potato, peeled and chopped
a few garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 bunch kale
1 medium leek, chopped
1 medium bunch broccoli, chopped
1 medium bunch cauliflower, chopped
2 cups plain soymilk
1 cup yogurt
spices of yer choosing (we went with curry, cayenne, and paprika)
salt and pepper to taste
Saute chopped potatoes and garlic in a soup pot with an oil of your choice. I think we went with peanut. Add the leeks, broccoli, and cauliflower, stir and cook 5 minutes. Add the kale, and as veggies begin to soften and threaten to burn (about ten minutes) add 4-5 cups water. Let veggies cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until soft. Take out a cup of yummy potato and veggie chunks, put aside. Blend the rest of the soup until smooth. Add soymilk, yogurt, and spices to taste. Put those veggie chunks back in and voila! A hearty green soup of renewal.
Enjoy!
