TIPS AND TRICKS TO CREATING BEAUTIFUL SOUPS:

If you are not in the practice of making soup, it may feel a little daunting at first.

The key to making a great soup is creating the flavor!

We recommend choosing a few recipes and starting there so you can have guidance while you build your confidence. Then when you’re ready to make your own soups you will have a foundational practice.

Making your own soup:

Always start with your base flavor ingredients by sauteing an array of onions, leeks, garlic, peppers, carrots and/or potatoes.
Once your veggies are sauteed, you can add your meat, beans, legumes and/or primary vegetables. Primary vegetables can be boccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and kale.
Add spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, salt and/or pepper
Boil! We love the instapot, but you can also low boil!

To get your started Enjoy our recipe for Cauliflower Soup below in the recipes section.

MINDFULNESS TIP: (MEDITATION – FALL IN LOVE WITH BEING ALIVE)

Every breath that you take matters. Your breath and your life are a sacred part of the sweet balance of the Earth. Falling in love with being alive is a sweet journey of self love, presence and honor. By taking time to be 100% present and feel the very breath you breathe, you can experience your life as it is happening. Not as it has happened. You can move away from looking back or looking forward and move into a place of being right here right now.

The present moment is a gift of attention, gratitude for all that you are right now, and sweet sweet honor to all that has happened to give you the wisdom that you hold today.

Believe and know with all of your heart and soul that your life matters, that you matter and allow yourself to fall in love with being alive.
