Under the Weather Soup

As cooler weather and cold and flu season approach, I wanted to share one of my favorite warming recipes packed with healing and strengthening ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts bone broth (I make my own with grass-fed

• meat bones from KOL Foods but you can buy it

• pre-made from KOL as well)

• 1 quart filtered water

• 3 sweet potatoes, cut into chunks

• 1 pound green beans, roughly chopped

• 2 zucchini, roughly chopped

• 1 bunch leafy greens (like kale or chard), roughly chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

• 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped

• 1 avocado, sliced thinly

• salt, to taste

• lemon juice, to taste

• coconut oil, to taste

Directions:

1. Place the bone broth and water in a large stock pot on medium-high.

2. When it comes to a boil, turn down to a simmer and add the sweet potatoes or squash and cook for 20-30 minutes or until tender.

3. Turn the heat off and add the green beans, zucchini and leafy green vegetables to the still-hot water.

4. Cover and let the soup sit for a few minutes. Salt the soup to taste and add the garlic and ginger.

5. Blend the soup in batches and place in another pot. I like to serve with a avocado slices, a scoop of coconut oil, a squeeze of lemon and some more salt on top.
