One of the main things missing from modern diets is fiber. Here is a simple recipe that is packed fiber and made with very simple ingredients. Great for sauces and soups! (risotto anyone?). While the onions, celery and carrots all are the source of fiber for this recipe, fresher carrots that still have full moisture tend to work best as drier carrots can make it thicker and less tasty.

Ingredients:

Approximately 1 cup each of

Carrots (optimally highest quality carrots available)

Onions

Celery



One fresh chard leaf (beet leaf or mineral rich vegetable green)

1/4 cup of either, rolled oats, cooked rice, cooked quinoa or cooked potato as the carbohydrate

A pinch of hemp meal (optionally a pinch of moringa leaf powder, 1/4 raw broccoli) as the plant protein


Instructions:

In a soup pan add 1 cup onions chopped with a small amount of oil, cook med heat till semi-translucent.

Add 1 cups each, celery and carrots mix well, cook at medium heat until onions begin to brown slightly.

Add water so that contents are slightly submerged, cover with a lid but leave a crack so it can breath, cook at medium heat until carrots are soft.

Take pan off heat to cool, while warm add to a blender, add one chard leaf, add 1/4 cup rolled oats(or cooked rice, cooked quinoa*, or cooked potato), add a pinch of hemp meal(or moringa powder) or 1/4 cup raw broccoli.

Blend on high until super super smooth or as smooth as it can get.

Add contents back to the sauce pan, if thick add extra water to desired thickness. Slowly heat to medium heat, cook until frothy. Try not to overheat as that will destroy nutrients!.

Cool, serve while warm in a cup or bowl.

Optionally top with butter, salt and pepper.

Freeze extra broth for later use as soup base’s, sauces or reheat again as maintenance broth.
