I love homemade soups. There is just something comforting about them. There is not much to say that most people don't already agree with. When I'm not feeling well, I love soup. This one is warming, filling and satisfying. I made this for visiting family and it was a hit. And so much better than Campbells! Parsnips are so delicious in homemade veggie soups, if you haven't had them before, they have a flavor similar to a carrot, they are a bit sweet but have a more "herby" flavor to them.
Hearty Minestrone Soup:6-7 cloves garlic minced
2 medium onions diced
2 tbs coconut or sesame oil
10 tiny white potatoes quartered
5 large carrots sliced thick
5-6 parsnips sliced thick
4-5 stalks of celery sliced with leaves
1 16oz can organic corn drained & rinsed
1 16oz can organic kidney beans drained & rinsed
1 24oz can fire roasted tomatoes
4-5 bay leaves
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
water
Directions:
Add the oil, onion and garlic to the empty soup pot. Saute for around 5 minutes until soft. Add in a splash of water if needed to keep them from scorching. Add in the carrots, potatoes, celery and saute for another 5 minutes or so. Add enough water to cover the veggies by about an inch or two, add in the rest of the ingredients, the corn, beans, tomatoes & herbs. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Let the soup simmer for about two hours. Serve and enjoy!
