Green, Gooey Soup
This is my life right now. This is the green, gooey soup that Breanna was talking about in her Mother's Day poem to me. I pretty much have this for every meal, but I change it up a little every time so I don't get too sick of it. I don't really have a recipe, but in case anyone wants to try this very nourishing/easily digestible/healing soup, here are the instructions:
Simmer some homemade chicken or beef broth in a sauce pan. Homemade broth is very healing for both the digestive system as well as the immune system. Add any assortment of these veggies peeled, de-seeded, and diced: zucchini, cucumber, summer squash, carrot, tomato, red pepper, cabbage, and onion. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Add any assortment or all of these steamed and pureed veggies(I make large batches of these at the beginning of the week so they are always ready to go): broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, peas, kale, spinach and acorn or butternut squash. I usually add in a scoop of each of these or whatever I chose to cook that week. Then add fresh grated ginger or garlic and heat for a couple minutes. Turn off the stove and add one egg yolk and a tsp. each of butter, coconut oil, and olive oil(with my diet it is very hard to get enough calories so these fats are very important, they are also important for healing my intestines). Then add good quality sea salt and pepper to taste. Oh, and protein. I add 2 ounces of cooked chicken, beef, or fish which I have already cooked and ready to go. I add it cold to help cool down my soup. You can also add 2 whole eggs(for your protein) before you turn the stove off and slowly stir and cook them until done. Enjoy! It's actually very tasty. I can tolerate most veggies without pureeing them now, but I actually prefer most of them pureed because it makes the soup so creamy and delicious. Feel free to add any other veggies that sound good. These are just the ones that I use most often.
