Zesty Green Soup

I was looking for a raw soup recipe that included avocados and found one at Beautiful on Raw. The soup is called “Zesty Green Soup with Toppings”.

I made the soup yesterday in my Vitamix and was very pleased with the result.

What you need:

2 handfuls baby spinach

2-3 medium carrots

1/2 avocado (I actually used 2 avocados for a super thick soup)

Ginger Root to Taste (I used a one inch slice of raw ginger root – I will use more next time)

3/4 cup to 1 cup room temperature water

Spices to taste (I used chili powder. I will add more spices in addition to the chili powder next time. Garlic and Cajun powder are suggestions.)

Easy Steps to your Delicious Soup:

Gather the ingredients

Place avocados, spinach, carrots, ginger and spices in Vitamix or other high speed blender.

Pour Water into Vitamix, then blend until creamy

Serve Zesty Green Soup

I sprinkled a medium amount of chili powder on top of our soup, but I should have added more. I think because I added two avocados to the soup, I should have incorporated more spices. Next time.

This soup is pure health, and we felt great after our meal. This recipe makes about two servings.

I found this recipe on Beautiful on Raw.

Enjoy!!

The taste is so creamy and loaded with fresh veggie goodness. The combination of fresh ginger, carrots and tofu creates a perfect flavor medley.

It is also Very easy to whip up for a quick lunch, as I did today.
