Warm french bread and mozarella.

I don’t think I have a friend who is as passionate, and gets as excited about the pleasures of food like I do. I utterly adore her. I have so many fond memories with her – eating and celebrating great food all over the world. I have a grin from ear to ear when I think about the countless times we have bitten into some special treat together, and giggled and moaned with delight. Then tried to deconstruct the recipe, and plot how we would recreate the present masterpiece.
Today was no exception. She came over to spend the day with me relaxing, laughing, and eating after a very busy time in her life. She is pregnant with her third child, and so I wanted to pamper her with some delicious whole food, just as she has done for me more times than I can recall. It seems I am always over at her house eating! It was nice to reverse positions. This simple soup was one of the fruits of our labour. And don’t worry! I will posting all of the others.
I have always been a fan of the ubiquitous potato and leek soup. I thought I would try expanding on that idea a little, and adding in some greens. I had been reading an another article reminding me of the importance of maintaining a healthy alkaline balance, and so what better way to celebrate, than to trim some asparagus.
Besides being really alkalizing, asparagus is absolutely loaded with Vitamin C, and a good source of zinc and selenium. It has powerful antioxidants that protect against free radical damage. Asparagus are really low in calories too. The health benefits of asparagus are endless, and I am not a health care professional. But I just have to share some of these with you as they have helped me so much.
I have had a problem with candida. I had to reluctantly take a course of antibiotics last year, during the run of August: Osage County. A horrible cold swept through the whole cast, and I fell victim to it in the last two weeks. Needless to say, it wreaked havoc in my system, and I have been trying to repair the damage ever since. Asparagus are a wonderful vegetable to eat if you are trying to restore intestinal health. Asparagus contains inulin, which promotes the growth of friendly bacteria when digested by the friendly bacteria in the large intestine. Asparagus is a natural diuretic. It contains significant amounts of folic acid and B6, which promote heart health and fetal health. Vitamin K, calcium, and magnesium assist with bone health and strength; and manganese and B Vitamins for energy.
But again, I am really only qualified to comment on the taste. This soup is just delicious. When I think about grilling asparagus, I always serve it with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Why should this soup be any different? We started making this soup without all the lemon, and found that it just didn’t have that extra pop. I turned to Beth, and said “What do you think it needs”? She just laughed, and replied, “Well you know me – I flavour everything with lemon juice”. I turned around, and began furiously juicing every lemon in the house. It just made sense; and turned this soup from “so-so” to sublime.

Hi Whale shark, I would serve it with croutons sprinkled over the top of your soup. You could also have some warm crusty French bread to go with it. A roast jacket potato with whatever filling you like would be a good complimentary dish. I would suggest buttered sweetcorn with a little diced sautéed red bell pepper for colour and flavour. Possibly with a little diced green chilli (again sautéed gently)for a touch of heat.I hope this helps,all the best. Rab

How about mexican rice ? It's a vegan recipe

All you need is red and green bell peppers, Corn kernels.
Add oil, stir-fry the above ingredients for about 5 mins and add a cup of brown rice. Stir constantly to mix. Add soy sauce and a dash of white pepper powder to taste. Serve.

Hope that helps!

I slice of nutroast or make your own walnut & parmesan bread - just follow a wholegrain bread recipe but add chunks of walnuts & flakes of fresh (never grated) parmesan.

put grated parmesan cheese over the soup


also eggs for protein

Usually in my family we have soup with bread and/or salad. Except I never eat the bread...

Warm pumpernickel bread. Holy hell, that stuff is good.
