Is it ok to add Quinoa to my veggie soup to break the cleanse? I found a great lentil soup recipe and it uses quinoa.

Hi I tried this "soup" also except that i didn't add corn(i'm afraid it wont be digested easily), sundried tomatotes(cannot find one) and dill(cannot find one too). I can't say it's soup because as for my understanding of soup it's something soupy and warm. It turned out to be more like a thick sauce. It tastes like salsa. I think the garlic is too strong. Maybe next time I'll put less cloves. Overall I liked the taste. It's flavorful. Just wanna ask when breaking the fast Is it alright to eat the avocado and the rest of solid ingredients?

This is The Best Vegetable Stock I have ever made!! After I made this I added all kinds of vegetables (Carrots, peas, green beans, all sorts of mushrooms, celery, corn, tomatoes, broccoli, and potatoes) and let it cook for a bit til they were tender. Then I took one third of the cooked vegetable and put them into a food processor. Dumped them back into the soup after that. It just gives it more flavor that way...yummy.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion
2 stalks celery, including some leaves
2 large carrots
1 bunch green onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
8 sprigs fresh parsley
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
2 quarts water

DIRECTIONS
Chop scrubbed vegetables into 1-inch chunks. Remember, the greater the surface area, the more quickly vegetables will yield their flavor.
Heat oil in a soup pot. Add onion, celery, carrots, scallions, garlic, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook over high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add salt and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Strain. Discard vegetables.
Other ingredients to consider: mushrooms, eggplant, asparagus (butt ends), corn cobs, fennel (stalks and trimmings), bell peppers, pea pods, chard (stems and leaves), celery root parings, marjoram (stems and leaves), basil, potato parings . . . Get the idea?

hello

Thanks Peanutterb for your recipe!

Is it okay to use chicken broth and other spices in the soup or does it have to be just water?

This recipe is from The Complete Book of Raw Food~ Lori Baird, editor


Abeba and Anna's It's Really Soup:
serves 8 to 10 people

10 to 11 fresh Roma tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red or yellow onion, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled
fresh basil to taste
fresh dill to taste
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Celtic sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 to 1/4 cup raisins
1 to 2 red bell peppers
1/4 jalapeno pepper (optional) (i used habenero because i love spicy!)
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped then divided
1 avacado cubed
1 ear of corn cut from the cob
1/2 sweet yellow pepper
finely chopped parsley for garnish


In a blender combine 6 of the tomatoes with the onion, garlic, basil, dill, lemon juice, sea salt, olive oil, raisins, red bell pepper, jalapeno, and 1/2 cup water.
Blend well.

Add 1/2 cup of the sun dried tomatoes, a little at a time. Blend well.

In a large bowl, combine the avocado, remaining fresh and dried tomatoes, corn and the sweet yellow pepper. Pour the blended mixture over the chopped veggies and stir well. Garnish with parsley.

This recipe was created at a 2002 Raw Chef's Training Retreat by Victoria Boutenko. THis soup was a hit-the students were scraping the bowl and begging for the recipe!

Enjoy!

I broke the fast on day 5 with fresh squeezed OJ for breakfast and this recipe for lunch - OH MY GOSH it was fantastic! I used habenero too. I wasn't able to get any fresh basil, but I didn't miss it. Also, I doubled the water so it wouldn't be as thick, but WOW, it was really good. We (my wife and I) also crumbled up some corn tortilla strips on top and took a 1/4 portion each of whole grain vegitarian flat bread to wipe up what the spoon couldn't grab... yum.

You can buy it like you can Chicken Stock. My youngest brother was a vegetarian for awhile so used to buy just vegetable stock for use as a quick soup base.

When I make vegetable stock, which I do because like Rose I think the commercial varieties are too salty, I use veggies minced fine and just leave them in. Mine includes celery, onion, potato slivers and carrot mostly with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. You could probably put it together really quickly with a food processor which I dont have so I resort to my big cutting board and a sharp thick bladed knife. Canned, it makes a good quick starter for soups and stews.
