FAST TASTY RAW SOUPS

RAW SOUPS are great for a fast meal. You can make them as simple and as complicated as you want. I was on a juice/smoothie fast the last few days and then today I was hungry so needed more.

I have a favourite tomato soup I usually make but I wanted to try something different.

I didn't have a recipe so this morning I made this up:

Creamy, Dreamy Green Soup
Small handful of spinach
2 carrots
2-3 celery stalks
1/2 cucumber
1/2 avocado
3 lettuce leaves
Himalyan Salt
Bit of dulse
1 tsp braggs
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tomato
oregano - couple shakes of the dry herb
basil - a couple shakes of the dry herb
1 - 1 1/2 C water

Yes, this was a green soup. I added some cinnamon and sliced grape tomatoes and sliced cucumber when I ate it. I liked it. It may not be for everyone but it is healthy, nutritious and easy on digestion.

Below are some soup recipes I found that you can try and I will be trying them this week.

Cream of Tomato
1/4 C onion
1 clove garlic
4 celery
2 carrots
1/2 C basil
4 tomatoes
1 C water
1/2 C cashews (soaked)
4 dates (soak first)
dash of cayene
1 - 1 1/2 tsp braggs

Throw all in blender and blend! You can eat like that or add some cut up veggies, greens and seeds or hemp seeds.

Broccoli Soup
3 C almond milk
2 C broccoli
1 avocado
Garlic to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
Pepper to taste

Add some water if you use soaked almonds instead of almond milk

Cut up ingredients and add to blender. If you do not have almond milk - use soaked almonds and they will blend but the soup would be a little crunchy or gritty - which I actually prefer. Add some Cut tomatoes, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds, etc.

GIVE THESES A TRY - What I like to do is wash and cut up the veggies the night before and then it is fast to blend them in the morning. Pour them into mason jars or a big glass blow with a fitted cover and your set! Great with dehydrated crackers!

LIVE HAPPY & HEALTHY!
