Energy Soup for the Soul
Recipe

Blender: Recommend a commercial grade blender with variable or high power such as a VitaMix.  Use of a standard blender may result in clogging or a stringy soup, however, cutting the vegetables into smaller pieces will often work.

Quantity: This recipe is for a 2 quart blender capacity.  Reduce ingredients proportionally for blenders with a smaller capacity.

Serving: Serving size is generally 1/4 to 1 quart per person depending on appetite and whether other entrées are served with it.

Spices:

1. Ginger (1/2 to 1 tsp size) to taste
2. Garlic (1/2 to 1 tsp clove) to taste
3. Parsley (1/3 of an average bunch)
4. Basil (optional) to taste
5. Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp) to taste
6. Sea Salt (1 tsp) to taste

Ingredients:

1. Water (1 cup per quart)
2. Celery (4 to 5 stalks)
3. Bok Choy (3 to 4 stalks depending on size)
4. Kale (2 to 4 leaves depending on size)
5. Swiss (red or rainbow) Chard (8 to 12 leaves depending on size) add to fill blender capacity
6. Avocado (1/2 per quart)
7. Spinach (optional)
8. Fruit (optional)

Instructions:

The ingredients can certainly be added in any order; however, experience suggests that as the soup becomes thicker, some ingredients don’t blend as well.  To thin the soup, simply add more water to your recipe.  The following instructions are offered from experience.

Add water and spices (except salt and pepper) to empty blender and mix ingredients thoroughly.  Add remaining ingredients one at a time, mixing thoroughly during the entire process or in between steps.  Make sure to add each ingredient gradually and separately rather than stuffing them into the blender.  This will allow the ingredients to get blended thoroughly.  When adding the Swiss Chard, be sure to add only one leaf at a time to the blender with the stalk pointing up and the leafy part down into the blender.  This helps to reduce splatter and allows the suction of the blender to pull the Chard leaf towards the blade.

Add Kale, Celery, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard (until blender is full), then add the Salt and Pepper, Avocado last

Taste soup and add additional spices as needed…..  You are done!

The entire process of blending may take between 8 and 12 minutes, with the only cleanup being to wash the blender after serving.
