Garden Of Eden Soup Recipes

GARDEN VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the leeks, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sweat until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans and continue to cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the tomatoes, corn kernels, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the vegetables are fork tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add the parsley and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with kosher salt. Serve immediately.

GARDEN OF EDEN SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the cucumber, yogurt, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, mint, jalapeño, scallion, 1 teaspoon salt, and the water in a blender. Puree just until smooth. Add the avocados and pulse a few times just to blend. (Don't blend any more than necessary, as it will over-aerate and thicken the soup undesirably.)
• Transfer to a bowl and whisk constantly as you slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
• Taste and stir in more salt, vinegar, or lime juice as needed. Garnish with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of chives.
