Soup is one of my favorite – and one of the easiest – ways to get in a ton of veggies easily. Soup is simple and can be fast to throw together, plus you can make a big batch of it so you have an instant meal or snack ready to go when you’re hungry.
My trick for making 3-ingredient soup is to keep it simple (obviously) – all you need is:
- 1 lb of vegetables (I love carrots, sweet potatoes, or broccoli for this)
- 1 onion
- 1 quart of bone broth
That’s all you need to get started! But if you want to dress it up a little, other yummy additions include:
- Salt
- Herbs like rosemary, oregano, or thyme
- Spices like yellow curry powder, cinnamon, or paprika
- More veggies (like celery, which is a common ingredient in most soups)
- Coconut Milk
- Garlic
Here’s how to put your own soup together:
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil or ghee over medium heat in a medium to large saucepan
- Rinse, scrub, and chop your veggies and your onion.
- When the oil is hot, add the veggies and the onion to the oil and cook until they are lightly browned and softened, about 7-10 minutes.
- At this point, you’ll also add any of your herbs, spices, or garlic you’d like to use.
- When the veggies are browned, add your bone broth and bring it up to a boil. Boil the soup for 3-5 minutes, or until the veggies are completely tender.
- At this point you can enjoy you soup as-is, or transfer it to a blender to blend into a puree (which is my preferred method.)
- Add salt to taste, serve hot, and enjoy!
My recipe for Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup:
1 medium yellow onion
1 lb broccoli florets
3 tbsp ghee, for cooking
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 ½ Tbsp curry powder
1 quart chicken bone broth
¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
Salt and pepper to taste
- Heat the ghee in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and sauce until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and cook to release the oils, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the garlic, broth, and broccoli and cook uncovered* until the broccoli is tender.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the coconut milk and salt and blend until smooth. Add water if desired, for a thinner texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
