Easy Veggie Soup



About this recipe:
I love making a pot of warming soup in winters. I always have one on hand. The veggies in this recipe can be replaced with any other kind of veggie.


Ingredients:
• 2 leeks, chopped
• 1 cabbage, chopped
• 1 large union, chopped
• 1 carton of organic vegetable soup stock
• 2 T. rosemary, finely chopped in coffee grinder
• 2 fresh garlics for garnish, chopped
• handful of raw pine nuts for garnish
• pepper and salt to taste
• little ghee to sauté

1. Melt some ghee in a non stick skillet. Sauté union until translucent.
2. Add the veggie broth, bring to a boil.
3. Add the leeks, bring to a boil.
4. Add the cabbage, bring to a boil for about 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Add chopped rosemary, blend the soup with a hand mixer, or transfer to blender and blend until smooth.
6. Add the garnish. I always put pine nuts in my soup to make sure I chew the soup. This is to start the digestion process in your mouth, rather than swallowing it right away.
7. Pepper & salt to taste.
