Soup is a great way to warm up while packing in great flavour and as many nutrients as possible from vegetables, plus it’s budget-friendly. So kick those bland shop-bought soups to the curb and prepare your own soup just how you like it by following these flavoursome recipes.
1. Coconut curry pumpkin soup
Ingredients
• 2 cups pumpkin, cut into cubes
• ⅓ cup yellow onion, chopped
• ½ clove garlic
• ½ medium sweet apple, cored
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cold-pressed coconut oil
• 1 cup light coconut milk
• 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
Directions
Place pumpkin into a ziplock bag and drizzle in olive oil and salt. Shake until fully coated with oil. Place onto a baking sheet and roast on 180 degrees C in the oven for about 30-40 min or until soft and fork-tender. Allow cooling for 30 min to room temperature. You can accelerate this process by refrigerating the pumpkin for 10-20 min. While the pumpkin is roasting, sauté the onion and garlic until soft and allow to cool. Add all ingredients into a blender in multiple batches as necessary.
Heat blended puree over the stovetop and serve.
2. Spicy lemony broccoli soup
Ingredients
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 cups broccoli florets, frozen
• 1 ½ cups low sodium vegetable stock
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ⅛ red pepper flakes
Directions
In a medium sauté pan, add avocado oil on medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Allow to cool. Once the onion mixture has cooled, add to the Nutribullet Rx Soup Pitcher, along with all remaining ingredients and extract on the 7-minute heated cycle. Adjust seasonings as desired and serve with some sliced chicken breast and some additional lemon juice and red pepper flakes.
3. Creamy corn soup
Ingredients
• 1 potato, peeled and cubed
• ½ onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery
• 2 cups corn
• 1 tomato
• ½ cup coriander
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ¼ cup cream
• 4 cups chicken broth
Directions
Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the corn, potato, pepper and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Transfer soup to a NutriBullet Tall Cup and pulse until you get a creamy consistency. Pour back into the pot and heat up if needed. Stir in cream and serve warm or cold. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and coriander.
