CRAVE: Secret ingredients lift superfood soup | News, Sports, Jobs - Lawrence Journal-World

I think my favorite thing about this soup, other than the fact that it’s chock-full of nutrients, is that it’s one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made. Thanks to the frozen veggies, the soup requires less than 10 minutes of prep before it simmers on the stove for a mere 15 minutes, then delivers an insanely delicious, healthy meal.

Like most of my meals, this soup doesn’t require a strict adherence to the recipe. Though I recommend keeping in the two secret ingredient superfoods–anti-inflammatory turmeric and roasted seaweed (nori), both of which provide a big flavor boost.

Superfood Soup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

3 large carrots, peeled and diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons ground turmeric

1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

2 (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added, diced tomatoes

4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

6 cups frozen veggies (I recommend haricot verts, lima beans, cut okra and corn)

2 sheets roasted nori, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

1. Add olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and turmeric and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Add diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring until combined. Add frozen veggies, stirring until evenly mixed. Add nori pieces and stir until thoroughly mixed.

3. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover and serve immediately. Serves 6.

Blueberry Acai Green Smoothie

I drink a green smoothie every day to aid digestion–it’s also a great way to increase my fruit and veggie intake, as most smoothies contain two to three servings. This smoothie is dairy-free thanks to almond milk and frozen bananas (one of my favorite ways to add sweet creaminess without dairy or refined sugar).

It’s full of gut-healing, protein-rich collagen powder and fiber-laden, omega-3-heavy chia seeds.

Plus, you get your leafy greens thanks to spinach, which goes completely unnoticed, tastewise. If you prefer flax seeds to chia, great. Not sweet enough? Try adding in some dates. Hate almond milk? Any milk you enjoy will do.

Ingredients

1 cup frozen wild blueberries

1 frozen banana

2 cups spinach

1 tablespoon acai powder

2 tablespoons collagen powder (found at health-food stores)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

11⁄2 cups almond milk

Directions

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
