Thursday: the healing soup

Oh the nasty bugs continue to roam our part of New Hampshire with a vengeance and that calls for soup. Healing soup! Get your soup pot on and add in:

1 Tablespoon of vegetable soup base (i love organic better than bullion) or start with homemade soup broth.(recipe coming)
2 quarts of filtered water
1/2 tsp tumeric
2 cloves of crushed garlic
1 sprig of rosemary

Let simmer. In another pan saute two sweet onions in small dice until translucent.

Add the onions in to the pot along with:

2 carrots cut into a small circles
2 small diced sweet potatoes
1 small bunch of kale chopped very small
1 or 2 leaves of fresh basil
1 cup of cut corn
3 small red potatoes diced
5 thinly sliced baby portabello mushrooms
and salt and pepper to taste

When all the root veggies are tender, add in a handful or two of brown basmati rice. Cook until rice is done and enjoy with your favorite bread!
