Cleanse your system Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 leek, finely chopped
- 1 celery heart (keep the outer stalks for stock), cut into small pieces
- Inner leaves of 1 fennel bulb (keep the outer part for stock), cut into small pieces
- 1 cup hot vegetable stock
- 3⁄4 cup red lentils, rinsed
- 1⁄2 preserved lemon, finely chopped 2 slices rye toast, for serving
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the leek, celery, and fennel and sauté until soft, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the hot stock and lentils, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. Add the preserved lemon, stir to combine, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Ideally, allow the soup to sit overnight, as it improves as the flavors infuse. To serve, reheat and accompany with a slice of rye toast.
Kaleicious Salad with Cashew Toppings
ingredients:
For the squash:
1 squash (I use about 2 pounds),
½ tbs olive oil
sea salt
Cayenne pepper
½ cup of water
1 head of kale (Siberian works better)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2/3 cup whole honey roasted cashews
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Dressing
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil - directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the squash on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Roast until tender and caramely, about 25 to 35 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, place the kale and onion in a large bowl. Cover with half of the maple dressing and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale. Evenly distribute it and massage for 3 to 4 minutes. Let it sit for 20 minutes or so, while you finish preparing the ingredients.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the breadcrumbs and the garlic powder, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring often, until the bread is toasty and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Take half of the cashews and finely chop them.
- Assemble the salad by tossing the massaged kale with the tomatoes, whole cashews, goat cheese and squash. Cover with the chopped cashews and the breadcrumbs. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing.
- maple dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in the maple syrup. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking the entire time, until the dressing comes together. This dressing is going to be sweet, so if you want it a bit more tart, I would taste and add some vinegar 1 to 2 teaspoons at a time until your desired taste is reached. You can store this in the fridge for a week or so – just shake well or stir before using.
Coconut Curry Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 knob of ginger, peeled and grated
- 1-2 tablespoons red curry paste

- Stevia to taste or Honey to taste
- 12 baby potatoes
- 2 cans coconut milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth

INSTRUCTIONS
- PREP: press the water out of the tofu while you prepare the soup.)
- SIMMER SOUP:Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and stir fry for a few minutes until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic burn or brown. Add the curry paste, turmeric, salt, and sugar. Stir fry for another few minutes. Add the potatoes, coconut milk, and broth. Simmer until the potatoes are soft.
- BLEND SOUP:Allow to cool slightly, transfer to a food processor, and puree until smooth and silky. The soup should be rich and thick, and you can add more water to lighten it.
- FRY TOFU:Stir fry the tofu until golden brown, and add to the soup! Yummy.
