Potato Arugula Soup: Hot or Cold Here’s a yummy soup perfect for this transitional weather. It was a new adventure for me – starting off with roasting some of the ingredients while prepping the stovetop broth. Roasted leeks, garlic, Russian and red kale along with the young arugula drizzled with olive oil; it’s packed with green vitality and rich in fiber and nutrients. I added a splash of Braggs mineral soy flavoring along with the dry sherry and mirin rice wine, plus sea salt and cracked lemon-garlic- pepper and a hint of healing cayenne. The rainbow of potatoes include local purple, reds, golden, and sweets. The broth includes celery, parsley, yellow onion, parsnips, carrots and twice filtered water, with sea salt, peppercorns, sage and garlic. I did use some Imagine not chicken broth as well. I didn’t even need to add the oat milk I bought to add creaminess – but if you’d like to enrich it – that’s one that I think tastes, looks, and feels most like whole milk. Rice, mixed grain or coconut would work well too. If you want the texture to be lighter, I recommend the Imagine not-chicken broth. Along with a fresh salad, this makes a lovely light meal. What’s even better, you can serve hot or cold – and freeze some for a few weeks too. Chanting Ingredients: Packed to overflowing with the many hours spent at The First United Methodist Church with the wonder-filled Interfaith 'Om Again' shared chanting thanks to Rev. Gail Ransom, followed by hundreds of voices in call and response with Krishna Das leading more uplifting meditative chants with wonderful accompaniment of our favorite yogi drummer, Jim Donovan and a tabla player. If you missed it – and you're in the 'burgh, you can sip it! (and join in next year!)

omg i'm emailing you now about your april soups! we're in, those sound fab! I think we'd like some mineral broth too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your April order, Rick. Let me know how much broth you'd like - This first soup has a different broth -- but I'll be making the Magic Mineral Broth for the Creamy Broccoli.
