veggie soup

We don’t count carbs over here but I realize there are many that do. This soup is SOOO good, is full of vegetable goodness with no noodles or pasta to  ruin your diet if you are counting carbs  It is my new go-to favorite soup, and I hope it will be yours as well.

Fresh herbs are key to the taste of this soup as well as fresh veggies No frozen subs for this one.

Add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté over medium low heat until the veggies are soft and the onion is translucent.

Add the leek and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Stir in garlic, fresh rosemary and fresh thyme.

Add zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, veggie stock and cabbage to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Take about 2-3 cups of soup and add to a blender. Add in the Nutritional Yeast and blend together until smooth. Return to the soup pot and mix well.

You can adjust the seasoning (add more Nutritional Yeast for example) now. Serve with hot sour dough bread
