What’s Cookin’? ~ Healthy Soup “Recipe”
Posted by Dr. Mom Online in Healthy Recipes on November 9, 2009
I don’t actually “do” recipes! I know, it infuriates many people who want to know EXACTLY how I make certain healthy meals and snacks.
Sorry – I’m no Rachel Ray or Martha Stewart! Everything I make is pretty basic and kind of “freestyle” cooking! No recipes… 99% of the time, anyway. I’m open to change… especially whenever we can get around to re-modelling our kitchen and rescuing it from the 1960’s! Maybe THEN I’d be more inspired to create gourmet masterpieces! (Who am I kidding?! It’s simply not my gift!)
Anyhow, this soup smelled SOOOO good that I thought I’d share a little bit about it.
I started with fresh organic garlic sauteed in organic olive oil on low heat.
(Can we just assume everything I used was organic… and I’ll tell you if it wasn’t?! OK.)
How much garlic? I believe it was 8 cloves. I like garlic. Good for my health!
Then, added chicken broth and veggie broth mixed… probably 50/50… or a tad more veggie broth.
Added dried beans and peas – black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, peas, red lentils, ‘green’ lentils, garbanzo beans, and a couple others that are gone from my memory now!
I tossed in about 1/3 cup brown rice, just for fun! (Wow, that almost sounded like a real recipe for a second!)
Also added some onions, and then the spices – ground pepper, sea salt, thyme, fennel, parsley, some fresh chives…
Finally, added the left over ground (and browned) bison from the night before’s dinner of bison burritos. The bison was free-range/grass-fed, but NOT organic.
The pot simmered ALLLLL day long… tempting us for hours! We paired the soup with a BIG fresh salad – baby greens, broccoli, carrots, raw sesame seeds, raw pumpkin seeds, more garlic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, Balsamic vinegar and freshly ground pepper.
Dee-lish!
