Nutrient Dense Soup


This soup recipe provides more than 100% of the RDA of vitamins and minerals (except for B-12 and Vitamin D), 908 calories, 75 grams of complete protein, 153 grams of complex carbohydrate, 5.8 grams of healthful fat, and 47 grams of fiber.

Ingredients:

454 grams of raw spinach

74 grams (about 14 or so) shiitake mushrooms (raw)

3 big stalks of celery (raw)

4 T Nutritional Yeast (I use Lewis Labs yeast — its not bitter)

1 6 oz can of tomato paste (no salt added)

2 cups frozen green peas

1 cup frozen yellow corn

2 cups or so of boiling water

Add vinegar and salt to taste

Blend the above ingredients in a VitaMix starting with the spinach, then add the mushrooms, then the celery, then the nutritional yeast, then the tomato paste, then the frozen green peas, yellow corn, and add in the boiling water to fill up the VitaMix and continue to blend until everything is blended and the soup is hot. This is a creamy soup green in color (you can add a raw beet if you want a red soup).

Enjoy.

  1. Sounds interesting. I am a little afraid to try it, though. Is this something you threw together or is this something you found?

    • I make this all the time; in fact, I’m just getting ready to make some more. If you like tomato soup, and pea soup, then this is pretty good. You can’t really taste the fresh spinach leaves. I’m thinking of replacing the water with V-8 juice to see if this changes the flavor, etc. I’ll have to make you some the next time I’m in Colorado, and then you can taste it and if you don’t like it, no problem, I’ll eat it all. Yummy.
