My Vegetable Soup Recipe

By : Patrice Hall

My regular go-to website for cooking ingredients is Nuts.com, they have a wide selection of spices, nuts and organic foods.  I decided to try their organic harmony soup blend so I can use it with my CSA veggies for soups this fall.  The carrots and garlic really made this soup golden…

Ingredients

3 cups of Organic Harmony Soup blend (Nuts.com)

7 medium carrots

2 bulbs of garlic

3 Leeks

6 cups of water

2 tablespoons of dried basil

2 tablespoons of black lava salt (or Himalayan sea salt)

1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

First, take the soup blend and boil it in the water for at least 10 minutes then let it sit for 1 hour.  Meanwhile peel the carrots and slice into 2 inch pieces.  Clean and cut the leeks into 2 inch pieces.  Peel and dice the garlic.  Add the carrots, leeks and garlic into the pot with the soup blend, along with the salt, basil and red pepper flakes.  Add enough water to the pot to cover the ingredients by 2 inches, then bring to a boil, then bring the pot down to a very low simmer to slow cook the soup for an hour.  After it is done, remove from the heat and serve.
