“That bowl of soup—it was dearer than freedom, dearer than life itself, past, present, and future.”
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich
Hi Everyone!
Nicole could not come to write her blog post today due to lack of stable internet connection, but sends her love with top five comfort soup recipes from Cauldrons and Cupcakes to warm your hearts.
“The beauty of this soup is that it’s a bone broth, and over time all of the fat and water soluble minerals and good bits dissolve into this magical elixir. One of the things this soup is chock full of is glycine. The amino acid glycine is great for liver detoxification and regeneration. Chicken soup is rich in collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), one of which you’ve probably heard of – glucosamine – stunning for artery, bone and joint health. The gelatin produced from dissolving bones and cartilage in the making of this soup helps heal leaky gut, and also reduces your need for meat and protein.
In Chinese Medicine, bone broths are considered to support the kidneys and kidney meridians, and as such are also useful for healthy teeth, bones and adrenal gland function. So if you have adrenal fatigue this is a super recipe for you!”
2. Creamy Corn and Potato Chowder Recipe
“This one’s a household favourite – quick to make, hearty and satisfying – and it can easily be made as a vegan, gluten and/or dairy free, vegetarian or bacon-y delight. Just adjust the ingredients according to my suggestions and your preferences.”
“Bone broth is essentially bones and vegetables simmered together over long periods of time to produce a rich flavoursome liquid. I make a big pot of this nourishing broth weekly, and it’s an important part of my healing regime. I’d always made my own stock, but after I began to understand the benefits of consuming bone broths I made them much more central to my regular meals. Maybe you should too!“
“Soup is one of those all-time comfort foods for a very good reason. Problem is, so many soup recipes take hours to cook. That’s why I love this one. It’s fast to make, economical, and entirely delicious. It takes less than ten minutes to prep the soup ingredients which magically merge together in just twenty minutes cooking time to produce a hearty, nutritious meal in a bowl.”
“This soup can be made as vegan, vegetarian, low carb or paleo. I encourage you to experiment. It’s soup, people, not rocket science. Taste as you go, and adjust if necessary. Soup is nutritious, economical and easy. I hope that you’ll soon be making super and adventurous soups as a regular part of your household management plan.”
I love the “last chance soup” Mine I call terminal soup which has upset colleagues when I have told them about it.
It is the same thing,any food or vegetables that are dying or way past their prime goes into it.
I wish I lived in a cooler climate sometimes so that I could have a stock pot on the go.
Bones from the butchers then tops/bottoms of onions and carrots etc boiled up every day then the liquid strained into the soup pot for the next batch of soup.
Mum even used to put porridge into the soups
Memories😍💓
The soups look so good.
