VEGAN FRESH TOMATO SOUP RECIPE (Classic, Easy & Irresistible)

8/22/2017 0 Comments
 
There is no doubt that tomato soup is a loved meal in our home. It warms you up from the inside out, it is comforting and reminiscent of childhood, wholesome, healthy, made fresh and easily in one pot. Classic tomato soup is a winner. The flavors jump out, and it only takes onion, garlic, tomatoes, vegetable broth and a little flour + S&P. These are simple ingredients that are easy to get your hands on.

V10 Vegetable Juice

3/25/2016 2 Comments
 
Picture
Making your own V8 Vegetable Juice is so empowering! We call it V10 as we added a couple extra vegetables. Simply blend, heat and drink hot (our favorite) or cold. Delicious, incredibly healing, cleansing and nutritious. We cannot get enough and will even drink it for breakfast. My husband is such a humongous fan even preferring it to a can of V8. You literally drink an entire blender full of vegetables. Spinach, parsley, celery, onion, garlic, beet, carrot, tomatoes, lime and bell pepper are combined together harmoniously. We leave the pulp for added health but straining yields perfect juice-like results, both are wonderful. 
Picture
V10 Vegetable Juice is: 
  • ​High in Vitamins & Minerals
  • Great at cleansing your body & is natural detox! 
  • An Energy & Mood Booster!
  • Heart Healthy
  • Good at Increasing Blood Flow & Circulation
  • Good at Decreasing Inflammation 
  • An Immunity Booster
  • Good for Digestive Health
  • High in Antioxidants
  • Full of Ingredients to Lower Cancer Risk & Soooo much more!!!! 

Enjoy the life-affirming health benefits! With lots of Love & Light, Christa

Prep Time: 15-20 Minutes | Cook Time: 20 Minutes | Servings: 4 

Ingredients:
  • 6 Roma Tomatoes or 4 Cups
  • 1/4 Large Green Bell Pepper - Chopped
  • 2/3 Large Onion - Chopped
  • 1 Garlic Clove - Peeled & Sliced in Half
  • 1 Carrot - Peeled & Sliced 
  • 6 Large Spinach Leaves or 2 Cups
  • 4 Sprigs of Parsley
  • 1 Lime - Juiced
  • 1/2 Beet - Peeled & Sliced in Half
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Celery
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Salt to Taste
  • OPT: 1-2 tsp Hot Sauce
  • 4 2/3 Cups Water

​Directions:
  1. Combine 1/2 of the ingredients in your blender. Blend on Soup Setting, 90 seconds on high. 
  2. Pour into a large pot. Blend the other 1/2 of the ingredients for 90 seconds on high, add to pot. Place the heat on high and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Scoop off any unwanted foam on the top. Pour into your favorite mug and serve hot! You can also cool, refrigerate and enjoy cold. 

​Notes:
  • Use a cheesecloth before heating to remove pulp, this will result in a more traditional V8 Vegetable Juice. Enjoy hot or cold. 
  • Use your favorite greens instead of spinach. Use your favorite bell pepper.

Healing Moroccan Chickpea Soup 

3/17/2016 0 Comments
 
This last week we had a cold front come blasting through with a slight cold to go with it. We needed something warm and healing to bring our bodies back to health. With the wonderful news of having The Artistic Vegan Cookbook translated to French I thought it would be appropriate to begin trying recipes from French speaking areas which is where this soup came in. A fusion of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, pepper, garlic, chili, tomatoes, carrots, chick peas and more create a hearty soup that is full of flavor. My husband and I both found it to be even better on day 2 as the flavors marinated together. 
Picture
We served ours with homemade vegan buns which were gluten-free and perfect for dipping into the soup. It created a wholesome, all-in-one meal that was warmly welcomed on such a cold swept day. No matter the weather or if you feel ill or fantastic this soup is bound to make you feel even better. I hope you enjoy this soup!! Love, Christa

Christa's Holistic Soup 

1/23/2016 2 Comments
 
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Buddha
Warm up with a big bowl of purifying soup rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This soup contains many veggies that regulate blood sugar, boost immunity, aid in digestion and may even offer anti-cancer benefits. Cleanse your body from harmful metals and enrich yourself with over 10 cups of vegetables with 10 different varieties. 

Carrots, celery, garbanzo beans, garlic, fresh herbs, jalapeno slices, onion, spinach, tomatoes and zucchini with hints of paprika are simmered together. The scent is heavenly and the leftovers are just as good if not better. In fact I snapped these pictures on day 2. This one is a keeper, I hope you love it! 

From my heart and kitchen to yours...love,
Christa
