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!
