Deluxe Vegetable Soup with Nut Butter
Deluxe Vegetable Soup with Nut Butter
One of the nutritionists from Mission Nutrition came up with this amazing soup recipe and I make it all the time!
Ingredients (serves approx 6)
5 large carrots - peeled and roughly chopped
3 large parsnips - peeled and roughly chopped
¼ large pumpkin - peeled and roughly chopped (approx 600g)
1 large kumara peeled and chopped (approx 400g)
1 large bunch of spinach - thoroughly washed
4 tbsp of smooth peanut butter
8 cups of vegetable or chicken stock
How to make:
Place all the vegetables apart from the spinach in a large pan and cover with the stock
Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until vegetables are very soft and starting to break up
Add the spinach and cook for another 5 minutes
Remove from the heat, add the peanut butter and blend. Yes, it does sound like an odd addition, but it is essential and tastes AMAZING!
Serve it up: Add a dollop of natural yoghurt and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley to serve.
Top tip: This is a Low FODMAP soup, which is great for those with Irritable Bowel syndrome. Ideally, use a homemade stock, or if you use ready-made, opt for a reduced salt variety.
