Recipe: Immune Building Soup
Ingredients
- 1-2 Large Beetroot cut into cubes
- 100g of Amaranth
- 1 Large carrot sliced
- 2 Tablespoons of finely chopped fresh Rosemary
- 3 Tablespoons of rubbed fresh Thyme
- 1 Onion Chopped Finely
- 1-2 Organic Celery Stalks finely sliced
- 4 Cloves of Garlic (European)** chopped Finely
- 4 Tablespoon of Balsamic Vinegar*
- 1/4 Teaspoon of cayenne pepper or black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
- 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Fat.
- Sprigs of Parsley to garnish
Directions
Put all ingredients except * into a large saucepan. Cover with water, bring to boil and simmer for about 45mins. Let it sit for 1hr to infuse flavours fully. Serve on own or with soured cream. *Keep 2 tablespoons of B.Vinegar to mix in once soup is cooked and slightly cooled. **Garlic bought in supermarket stores is often from China. Note amaranth needs to be cooked slowly and will make the soup a little thick and soak up most of the water, so if you like a more juicy soup you may want to add more water.
Serves Approx 3 leo.
