Hearty Red Soup

Serene says: "I have a large family, and in order to feed all of us and stay on a budget, we often eat homemade soups for our evening meal. We eat the Hearty Green or Red Soup so often during winter that my children have often asked at the table, "Which one tonight, Mom, green or red?" If you have a small family, freeze extra for future evening meals. You can find this recipe on page 334 of the original Trim Healthy Mama book.

    Add following spices to taste: sea salt, lots of black pepper, Braggs Liquid Aminos, tamari, onion and garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
  6. 6
    Add more water as needed to obtain desired soup consistency. It does not need to be extremely brothy.
  7. 7
    Once vegetables are tender and soup flavors have mingled, add a dollop or so of cream or tahini to cut the acidity of the soup and bring out the depth of flavors.
Note

This may be served with warmed and buttered whole wheat pita bread for the growing children. You may enjoy a coconut dinner roll with this meal or choose any of our S cracker recipes options. Since this soup makes a large batch, you can freeze leftovers to be reheated for "no brainer" nights.
