- It is “Soup Weather People”! I make some version of this soup weekly. It takes less then 20 mins to make in the Instant Pot (can also be made on the stove) so perfect for those days you do not have much time to cook. It is perfect for any veggies you have left that need to be used up. You can swap out asparagus for any veggie really.

Notes
If you do not own an instant pot fret not. Just simmer on the stove for 15-20 mins till your veggies are super soft.
This soup is super versatile and you can use any veggies you like. Broccoli and leek, butternut squash, or pumpkin.
Throw a poached egg or sautéed shrimp on top for some extra protein.
You can add in a few sprinkles of nutritional yeast to your bowl to add a cheesy flavor.
We like our soup with Simple Mills almond flour crackers! They are grain-free, delicious, and super clean ingredients.
Zero Waste Tip With your cup of leftover broth, you can make a super gut healing turmeric broth latte. Might sound weird but it’s a perfect afternoon pick me up. Warm-up broth and put into a blender with a tablespoon of ghee and a teaspoon of ground turmeric!
