I avoided soup for a long time. I thought it was a boring dish, too bland for my taste buds craving texture and crunch.

Then I learned to… make soups. BAH SAY SO. I thought about it!

So here are 3 soup ideas that make me happy in bidua and should make you happy too!

The chicken soup like in the movies

This is a classic of American films and series: heroes, when they are ill, gorge themselves chicken soup. I ended up being curious and tried making one myself.

Simple vegetable soup

It is this recipe, mainly tested to finish off my halves in the vegetable drawer, that reconciled me to soup.

It’s vegetarian, not expensive at all (especially if you have an accessible market or primal), and you can prepare everything before an episode of Bodyguard on Netflix! What more ?

• ½ sweet potato
• 2 stalks of celery
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 onion
• Salt pepper
• 2 cubes of vegetable broth
• 1 liter of water
• Other possible spices and herbs: turmeric, red pepper, chili pepper, bay leaf, thyme…

Vegetable soup recipe for 2 people

• You peel everything
• You cut everything into roughly equal pieces
• You put in your pot
• Add water until the vegetables are submerged
• You put the broth
• You light the fire and wait (about 40 min.)

This really is the BA-ba of soup, but if you’re wondering how to eat more vegetables, for example, this recipe is FOR YOU!

And if, like me, you prefer to have a little texture, you should just leave the result unmixed and enjoy your vegetables melting in the broth. MIUMUMIUM.
