    Big steaming bowls of Green Goddess Wellness soup for everyone!

    This green goddess wellness soup is the best way to get all your greens. This quick and simple delicious soup is all your health goals in a bowl.

     Is this considered to be the “dead of winter”? That time of year where Christmas is nothing but stale mince pies in the back to the cupboard and spring is like a mirage on the horizon. It’s the time of year when the cold and flu germs like to strike, right? Maybe you’ve already felt the tickles of a sore throat, or the fatigue of a sleepless night. Runny nose? Just feeling less than the best? No worries, lovelies. The all the cures for what ails you are hanging out in this bright green bowl of wellness.

    I’ve been thinking about health and wellness a lot lately. Maybe it’s the new year kinda thing. Tell me, have you been more conscious of what you eat lately? Whether you have, or you haven’t, there’s no denying that eating a bowl of this green goddess soup is exactly what your doctor would order. It’s full of the greens of life. Broccoli, peas, cavolo nero, parsley, some fresh red chillies- seeds in if you please, and everyone’s favourite wonder spice: turmeric.

    I’ll admit the colour is a little shocking, but the flavour in this soup is absolutely stunning. I’m not just saying that to get you to eat green soup. Seriously.

    This green goddess wellness soup is the best way to get all your greens. This quick and simple delicious soup is all your health goals in a bowl.

    It’s the kind of soup that may have made me sceptical a few years back. But, as I think more about health and what we eat and how it all has to do with how we feel mentally and emotionally, my food has become a lot more holistic and mindful of nutrition. But, it wasn’t always easy. I was trained at culinary school in a very classical French way, where fat=flavour… literally. Brioche with fois gras was a common sort of dish.

    But food moves and evolves and it advances with the people who consume it and grow it. Because, as we all become more mindful of what we eat, food will truly become out medicine. And if that’s the case, this is the most delicious medicine you’re gonna eat all winter. Promise.

    Broccoli soup with cream.
