- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 8–10 cups vegetable broth (depending on your vegetable load)
- 1/2 small green cabbage, sliced thin
- 1 large leek, sliced thin
- 2 carrots, grated
- 3 celery branches, sliced thin
- 1 bunch kale, in a chiffonnade
- 1/2 bunch mustard (or collard) greens, in a chiffonnade
- 2 teaspoons fresh turmeric root, grated or minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root, grated or minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 handful cilantro leaves
Instructions
Bring the vegetable broth to a slow boil. Turn off the heat, add all the ingredients except the lime juice and cilantro leaves. Quickly put the cover back on and let poach until desired doneness. I like to keep for a good 20 minutes. Add the lime juice and cilantro leaves and serve. Bon appétit!
PS: This is also a great base for a vegetable soup, to which you can add more spices, some beans, lentils, pasta, etc. The soup, as it is, is a very clean and nourishing soup, but may lack on your usual vegetable soup staples. Make it yours, own it!
