Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, and saute for several minutes until the onions start to soften and become translucent. Add the remaining vegetables, and salt and pepper, and saute for several minutes longer.
Simmer till soft. Add the lemon juice, and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour chicken or vegetable broth into the pot, cayenne, and additional salt and pepper, if desired. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for minutes, or until the veggies are soft. Puree the soup. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot, and heat it through before serving. Swirl in some plain Greek yogurt or coconut milk if desired.
Make it vegetarian or vegan. Be sure to use vegetable broth, and if you want to add a creamy swirl, try coconut milk or coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
Make it low carb. Skip the potatoes and use a full head of cauliflower instead of a half head. Make it chunky. Leave a rating below and tag cupcakekalechip on Instagram and hashtag it cupcakesandkalechips.
I love this healthy vegetable soup when I am sick. But if you prefer something different, try one of these. My family loves this soup. I add chicken and chic peas to it. This soup is delicious and very healthy! I added some chickpeas for protein and some curry powder! I also topped it with goat cheese which was so tasty! Might try roasting some chickpeas and adding them on top….
It will definitely affect the flavor though since parsnips have a stronger flavor than potatoes. Thank you! Wow, you do like it spicy!
For a weakling like me, it already has a pretty good kick. But I am so happy it has helped you! Just got a new vitamix and this was the first recipe I made. It was amazing!! It was pretty spicy so I added a dollop of sour cream.
So good, will be making again. I made this today and it is very sour tasting. Too much lemon. Is there a way to salvage this so not so sour? So sorry it turned out that way for you.
Did you use fresh lemon juice or bottled? Just curious since bottled does tend to be more strong and bitter. Or maybe you just had an extra strong lemon! Absolutely love this soup! I found this recipe about two months ago and it has been a staple in my home. We have it every other week. Amazing soup. Not only is it healthy but great to manage weight. I did find that different types of potato will Change the consistency. I tried baking potato as well as canned which made the soup very creamy and silky.
Versus a Yukon gold or yellow potato had a tiny bit more texture. This soup is so delicious! Yum and thank you for this tasty, veggie-packed recipe! Thank you, Olivia! Hope it keeps you healthy this winter. Would this receipe stay good in the fridge for 7 days!? Wondering if I can still freeze it after 7 days, or just pitch it and play it safe!?
It is delicious would hate to risk not liking it again! Hi Tiffany! From a food safety standpoint, I like to recommend that fresh foods like this be eaten within 5 days. All food starts to grow bacteria immediately after it cools down.
The choice is yours. Excited to try it! Does this freeze well? It freezes beautifully, Sandy. This is exactly what I am doing, is cooking this soup while feeling so sick.
