Vibrant beet soup made with herbs like thyme, garlic & cilantro, tomatoes, onions and many more veggies. Inc. video &  photos.
Here is one of my favorite recipes - my beet soup. Loaded with nutrient dense veggies and LOTS of garlic to create that rich, garlicky-peppery taste. 

Let's go over as to why this soup is so great!


Benefits of this soup recipe:-


1. Contains LOT of garlic - Yes! My recipe I used 2 whole garlic! That's a good amount not just for taste but also for health. Garlic is one of the most powerful herb for anti-cancer prevention as well as for immunity. Garlic is great for everyone - from healthy individuals to diabetics to cancer patients! Moreover, the sulfur compounds (allicin and S-allyl cysteine) in garlic along with its powerful flavonoids (quercetin) are the reason why it is considered anti-cancer.
​
2. Made with mirepoix (onion, carrot, celery) - Not just for a super tasty soup base but also for robust health, this combination is great for an anti-inflammation diet. Fresh produce like celery can be of immense help for those who have digestive upsets like ibs, ibd, indigestion, bloating, etc. Celery is rich in vitamins like vit K, vit B6, potassium, folate, enzymes and fiber. 

3. Includes herbs like thyme and cilantro - Cilantro is a "must" if you want health. Why? Because cilantro is a chelator; this means it goes into your body and gets rid of heavy metals. This is HUGE deal - do you know how much toxic overload that is? Why not include cilantro as much as you can in your recipes but not just that, include a whole bunch or two each time! 


Now, this dish is great as it uses one of the best healing herbs on this planet: thyme. It is excellent for allergies, for respiratory issues (congestion, bronchitis, coughs, sore throat, etc), arthritis, anti-septic, anti-microbial and of course, anti-cancer due to its thymol content. 

Did you know it also increases the amount of healthy fats like DHA in brain, kidney and heart cell membranes? So, better get cooking with thyme...and add to it some coconut oil in the recipe, you are sure to get the benefits and feel good. 

4. Most of all, it contains BEETS!!!!!!! - Yes! Beets are one of the most powerful vegetable on the planet! From helping prevent cancer, to creating healthy immunity, lower blood pressure and helps you detox the liver! They also help in weight loss as well as rich in nutrients. Make them part of your diet and in soup recipes like this one, it won't be any struggle to take beets from now on. 

Alright, so now lets get cooking! 


Ingredients -

1. 4 organic roma tomatoes or 3 medium tomatoes
2. 1 organic red bell pepper
3. 1 large organic red or yellow onion
4. 1 organic cilantro bunch
5. 3-4 organic celery sticks
6. 3-4 organic carrots
7. 2 whole garlic
8. Ginger - see pic or per taste
9. 4 organic beets - peeled


Spices and oil -

1. Black pepper - LOTS of it. The more the better in this recipe.
2. Cayenne -1 teaspoon,  mix and then taste. Adjust if needed.
3. Organic Himalayan sea salt - per taste. 
4. Organic unrefined coconut oil to cook
5. Thyme - 1 teaspoon

Servings -

Since there's just little ol' me in this house, I had a delicious HEALTHY soup last night for dinner and a nice cold soup for breakfast.

I'm going to freeze the remainder in portion servings so that I can enjoy this beautiful looking and wonderful tasting soup in the days to come.

Thank you for the splendid recipe!
