Healthy, Nutrient Dense, Feeds the Whole Family, & Easy On The Pocket Book!

 

Step 1.) In a large soup pot add meat slices (1 inch pieces) butter and ginger. Let ingredients cook for 5 minutes with lid on to allow flavors to merge.

Step 2.) Cut up all of the vegetables, and add seasonings to the pot. Close lid. Let cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes. You are using the water from the vegetables to steam cook the ingredients.

Please note: You want the carrots to be soft but retain some of their crunch before adding the chicken stock so that they don’t get too mushy. The Carrots are your measuring stick.

Step 3.) Add the chicken stock & the beans. Close lid and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let sit with lid on until the carrots reach your desired tenderness.

Add optional nutrient boost: 2 eggs & collagen protein

Please note: Do not stir too much or the beans and vegetables will get too mushy.

Step 4.) Add soup to your bowl, add garnish & enjoy!

Pro Tip: If you like bread with soup, I highly recommend finding a local baker that makes home-made sourdough.

 

Warmth & Wellness For Your Whole Family :-) Enjoy!

 

Try frozen bananas & mangoes for dessert!
