If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious option that’s suitable for low-carb diets or special dietary needs, this amazing cream soup is a must-try!

Not only is it easy and quick to prepare, but it also provides a good amount of warm soup for 3-4 days. I personally make this soup every week and enjoy it nearly every day. I couldn’t miss including this recipe in my collection!

This creamy soup is incredibly clean and made from a mixture of at least 10 different vegetables. It contains pure vitamins, minerals, fibers, and proteins—nothing more and nothing less. Best of all, it’s free from additives, gluten, lactose, and fat. Instead, it offers a warm, highly nutritious, and delicious infusion for your everyday meals.

Ingredients:

  • 6-7 pounds of assorted vegetables (choose any variety you prefer)
  • 1 medium leek
  • 1 medium head of broccoli
  • 1/2 head of cauliflower
  • 2 cups of carrots
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1/2 medium head of jicama
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 5 celery stalks
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2-1 cup of chopped parsley
  • 1/8 cup of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of Himalayan salt
  • Spices: turmeric, black pepper, ginger, and cayenne pepper (to taste)

Preparation:

  1. Rinse, clean, and peel the vegetables. Chop them into larger chunks (refer to the attached pictures).
  2. In a stock pot (1 or 1.2 gallons), heat 1/8 cup of olive oil over low heat. Add the sliced leek and sauté for about 10 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower to the pot. Cook and roast for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add the remaining vegetables, turmeric, ginger, and salt to the pot. Fill it up with water until all the vegetables are covered.
  5. Cook the soup on low heat for 1 hour, ensuring the water gently bubbles during the cooking time.
  6. Using an electric hand blender, blend the soup until it becomes smooth and well incorporated.
  7. For extra flavor, you can add cayenne pepper, lactose-free sour cream, or a pinch of coconut milk.

Please refer to the attached pictures below for a visual guide to the preparation process.

Step 1: Put 1/8 cup of olive oil in a 1 or 1.2-gallon (stock) pot and place it over low heat with the sliced leek.

Step 2: Sauté the onion in the oil over low heat for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 3: Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower to the pot with the sautéed onion. Cook and roast the vegetables for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.

Step 4: After cooking the initial vegetables for 15 minutes, it’s time to add the remaining vegetables, along with turmeric, ginger, and salt, to the pot. Make sure to include the jicama, red bell pepper, celery, garlic, and chopped parsley. Fill the pot with water until it covers all the vegetables.

Step 5: let the soup simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Ensure that the water is gently bubbling during the cooking time. This slow cooking process will allow the flavors to meld together and create a delicious, nutritious soup.


Step 6; once the soup has finished cooking for 1 hour, it’s time to blend it. Use an electric hand blender to blend all the contents of the pot until the soup becomes smooth and well incorporated. This will help create a creamy texture and ensure that all the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the soup. Blend until you achieve your desired consistency.

Step 7: For an enhanced flavor, there are a few optional ingredients you can add to the soup. Consider including a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to add a bit of heat and spice. Additionally, you can add a dollop of lactose-free sour cream for a creamy and tangy element. If you prefer a touch of richness, add a pinch of coconut milk to the soup. These optional additions will further enhance the taste and texture of the soup, so feel free to experiment and adjust according to your preferences.
