Here we are in January and my normally healthy, highly energetic kids BOTH have stuffy noses and it breaks my heart…So we spent most of this chilly day cuddled under a blanket watching movies, drinking fruit smoothies and did I mention cuddling?
For dinner I wanted to make a powerhouse soup to fill them up, open their sinuses and nourish their tired bodies, this soup did ALL of the above and it was SUPER TASTY too.
Here is what you will need:
3T Olive Oil
3 Med Cloves of Garlic
3 Med Carrots
2 Large Pieces Celery
1 Med Zucchini
1 Small White Onion
1/2 Head of Cauliflower
1T Dried Basil
1t Dried Oregano
1/2t Cayenne Pepper
Salt and Cracked Pepper
4 Cups Vegetable Broth
1/4 Cup Blue Corn Tortilla Chips (Optional)
1T Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
In a large soup pot add olive oil and heat on med heat. Roughly chop all your veggies and add them to the olive oil, season and saute for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock to cover veggies, salt and pepper again to taste and bring to a boil until vegetables are fork tender. Using a hand blender or food processor puree the contents of the pot taste and add salt/pepper if needed, return to heat until soup simmers. Ladle soup into bowls top with blue corn chips and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (optional).
