Yield: 6 servings

Super Energy Garden Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 5 cups water
  • 5 teaspoons chicken broth/seasoning, powdered
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups red potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 3 - 4 cups kale, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sage, dried
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons thyme, dried
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in large pot.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil in a large pot until the onion is soft (translucent).
  3. Add water and chicken broth powder. Stir.
  4. Add the carrots and celery. Stir and bring to a boil.
  5. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes.
  6. Add red potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are soft (about 15 minutes).
  7. Add kale, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir and simmer for 10 more minutes or until desired taste and texture.
  8. Add more powdered chicken broth and seasonings if desired. Serve.

Notes

You can substitute regular liquid chicken broth for the powdered chicken broth/seasoning and water. I use a vegetarian powdered chicken broth/seasoning that does not have MSG.

If you use fresh herbs use three times the amount (for 1 teaspoon dried, use 3 teaspoons fresh).

You can use more or less seasonings and vegetables to taste.

You can also sauté the onion and garlic in a skillet and transfer it to the pot when it is cooked.

You can double this Super Garden Energy Soup recipe if desired.
