Healing Soup

After a juice cleanse comes the “healing soup” to reintroduce you to solid foods. This soup was very welcome as my hunger pangs were getting intense after my 3 day juice cleanse. If you got to this recipe, then well done for completing the cleanse. Hopefully you feel better mentally and physically.

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato

• 2 beetroot

• 2 carrots

• 1 courgette

• Handful leeks

• 1 onion

• 2 cloves smoked garlic, chopped

• Small piece of ginger, chopped

• 1 scotch bonnet

• Cherry tomatoes, blended

• Basil, dried at home

• Himalayan salt

• Herbamare Seasoning

• Tamari sauce

• Olive oil

• Water

Instructions

In a medium pan, I heat up some olive oil before sautéing the onion, leek, garlic, ginger and scotch bonnet. I then added the beetroot and carrots as they take the longest to cook before adding the potatoes. I let these cook for 5 minutes and then added the courgettes, tomatoes and seasoned with the Herbamere and salt. After another 3 minutes, I added half a litre of water, added tamari sauce to taste and let simmer for 10 minutes. I added the basil 2 minutes before the end.

This soup was so yummy, I froze the remainder in two tupperware bowls and had one on Monday and the other on Wednesday.

Happy cooking!
