If you’re cooking with veggies, you’ll have a lot of skins, peels and cores. Don’t throw them in the compost just yet! Place all your veggie scraps in a soup pan filled with water and bring to a boil, then simmer for half an hour. Let it sit on the stove for a few hours, then strain and discard the bulk.
Add a pinch of sea salt and sip veggie broth as an appetizer. Light, delicious and nutritious!
Protein, fibre, flavonoids, phyto-nutrients, omega 3′s, vitamins and minerals, and anti-oxidants. This soup packs a punch. Black beans are a staple of Mexican, South and Central American cuisine. Few foods are more powerful. You’ll love this easy blended soup for its earthy tones and its full-on substance.

As soon as squash and fennel begin to appear at the market in fall, you’ve got two nutrient-dense, highly soupable ingredients to make an outstandingly rich combo.
This is my all-time favourite winter soup. It’s velvety smooth, sweet, soothing and super comforting. It’s a beautiful soup to serve to guests on a cool fall evening with homemade jalapeno cornbread or cumin naan.
Guaranteed bliss. (more…)
The easiest soup in the world to prepare, and one of the healthiest!
My favourite miso is Cold Mountain Mellow White Miso. The easiest version of a miso soup is simply to add hot (not boiling) water to 2 tablespoons of miso in a large soup bowl and stir until it dissolves.
If you’d like it to be slightly more complex, make matchsticks out of carrots and sautee them in a little olive or sesame oil until they crisp up. Toss these in with the (more…)
This rich and creamy soup is made with two superfoods. It’s incredibly rich in flavour, texture and nutritional value, and is the Feel Good Guru Guineapig’s top pick of all the recipes posted so far. He gives it 5 mmmmm’s out of 5.
Fear not the avocado for its fat factor! Avocados are loaded in monounsaturated fatty acids, which, according to research can actually help you lose fat, particularly around the middle. These essential fatty acids also help protect us from chronic diseases. (more…)
Onions are a good source of vitamin C, they’re fat free, contain no cholesterol or sodium, and are low in calories. Why then do the French turn onion soup into a meal that requires a glass of red wine to facilitate digestion?
This is a mild, clean and healthy version of the classic heavy French Onion Soup which is made with butter, beef consume, chicken broth, country style bread, cognac and gruyere cheese. (more…)
This one was a hit with the guineapig and guests. We had it for two days, then the last bowl went into a whole other soup as stock. It’s a substantial soup, one you can serve for lunch or dinner as a meal. I topped it with diced avocados at room temperature, a nice addition for taste, texture, beauty and value.

Day 1 of Spring Elevation! Not wanting to overcomplicate things on day 1, we ate simply: a blackberry/banana smoothie for breakfast, complete with Perfect Food greens, organic flax oil, raw almonds and wheat bran; for lunch, we had leftover asparagus soup (recipe coming in “Feel Good Guru Cooks, Eats and Saves the World” the cookbook), and for dinner, a simple salad – stellar greens from the market, steamed artichokes, cucumbers, carrots, red cabbage with olive oil and apple cider vinegar and hemp seeds sprinkled on top.
I’m marooned at Christina Lake in southern BC and it’s been hot. 37 degrees C hot, with no relief – not even a cloud – for days.
With weather like this, who wants a big heavy meal? I wanna eat light and bright. So I picked up a quart of organic California strawberries for $2.99 – the same California strawberries I get at the farmers’ market in Santa Monica for $5. Not sure what’s up with that, but I appreciated them today. They were plump and juicy and sweet. So I ate a few, then made a chilled organic strawberry soup with the rest. (more…)
