A warm meal on a cold night— nothing quite compares. This weekend, as the air is frigid and snow begins to fall, I suggest a winter soup to warm you up! Especially when the meal comes from your mom!
My mom is all about emptying the fridge of veggies, and combining rice and beans for a complete protein, in order to make a delicious soup. She tends to throw everything together, as measurements are not really a concern. Instead, over time the right consistency is eventually reached. A mixture of spices, including turmeric— which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant— complete the soup.
This week I was presented with some good comfort food from my mom. The following ingredients were used to make the soup:
- leeks
- celery
- zuchinni
all sautéed with pepper and salt and then combine the following
- Carrots
- rice
- water
Boil till cooked and then add
- diced tomatoes
- pinto beans
- kidney beans
- fresh dill and turmeric
