Vegan Superfood Soup
This Vegan Superfood Soup is filled with healthy vegetables and plant-based nutrients to keep your body fueled!
Ingredients
The Veggies
- 4 Tbs Olive or Avocado Oil
- 1 White Onion rough dice
- 2 Cloves Garlic finely minced
- 1 Jalapeño seeds removed, diced
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Green Bell Pepper rough dice
- 1 Cup Chopped Carrots rough dice
- 3-4 Stalks Celery rough dice
The Soup
- 4 Cups Vegetable Broth
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 Tsp Salt or more, to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Turmeric
Finishing Touches
- Juice from 1/2 Lemon
- 1/2 Cup Cucumbers quartered
- 1/2 Cup Spinach finely chopped
- Celery Greens if you want
- Hemp Seeds if you want
- Gluten-Free or Plain Pasta if you want
Instructions
- To start, bring your oil to medium-high heat in a large pot.
- Add in your vegetables and sauté until they begin to brown. You want them to have a bit of char, but still maintain their firmness.
- When they're just browned, add in the vegetable broth, water, salt, and spices. Stir for a minute, then carefully taste and adjust seasoning if desired (i.e. add more salt).
- Simmer the soup for 10 minutes on low heat. When done, remove from heat.
- Add in the lemon juice, spinach, and cucumbers. Do NOT add in the greens earlier than this, they will wilt.
- Garnish with celery greens or hemp seeds, if you'd like.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I would say that this serves 2 people as a full meal, and 3-4 as a side. Adding pasta will increase these numbers!
- Feel free to add in any other vegetables you have on hand, like green beans, asparagus, scallions, kale, etc.
- Make sure to fully remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño for less heat. If you like things spicy, keep them in!
