Summer Harvest Borscht

/

Granny's garden is in full bloom!  I love to get a head start on canning the summers harvest so I don't get caught having to cook non stop for weeks!!!  This borscht has a yummy citrus twist, but the flavours are amazing together:) I hope you enjoy!

  • 6 cups of roughly chopped beets
  • 3 cups of roughly chopped potatoes
  • 2 medium onions
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 limes
  • 1/2 cup  of chopped fresh parsley 
  • Himalayan salt (to taste)

In a large pot add the beets, potatoes, onion and garlic.  Cover the veggies with water or a broth of your choice.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-35 mins.  Let cool slightly.

Using your blender add batches of the soup and pulse.  I do some smooth and then some chunky to create a nice texture.  Pour back into the pot after you have blended each batch until your happy with the consistency.  

Next add the juice of 3 limes, chopped parsley and Himalayan salt.  Stir together and warm to desired temperature.  

Makes about 10 - 12 cups of soup :)

***Juicy Tip - I like to make this soup in larger batches and set some aside for a quick  lunches or dinners.  

 

Detox Soup

/

After a holiday weekend, or if I'm feeling like I could use a bit of a cleanse this is one of my go to's.  It is really simple to make and tastes delicious!   

  • 4 Large Zucchini
  • 8 Celery Stalks
  • 4 Large Tomatos
  • 1 cup Green Beans
  • 1 Large Onion
  • Handful of Parsley
  • Handful of Cilantro
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • Himalayan Salt (to taste)
  • (optional but I love to add) 1 Tsp of each Tumeric, Cumin, & Cayenne

Simply chop all the veggies into your stock pot and add about 8 Cups of filtered water, add your spices and bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 mins.  Let cool slightly and then pop batches into your blender and pulse a few times!  I love blending this soup it makes the chopping quick and the texture is divine!

Serves 4 - 6

***Juicy Tip - This soup is loaded with antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A, C, K as well as potassium and folate.  Parsley and cilantro are excellent for removing heavy metals from the body.  If you are feeling sluggish it will get things moving and the best part is it tastes delicious!  Enjoy!
