Creamy Cabbage Soup

My mom used to make a cabbage soup when I was little. She did not make it creamy like this Creamy Cabbage Soup, but she gave me the inspiration to recreate something very similar. I remember truly loving the simple seasonings and the comfort this soup offered me. Do you remember a version of cabbage soup from your childhood?

Simple Vegetable Soup with Creamy Coconut Broth

Simple Vegetable Soup with Coconut Broth
Simple Vegetable Soup with Coconut Broth

I made this soup while vacationing in Colorado. Our family prefers to stay in Airbnb rentals, with the kids, the food and all. This was our first night in Colorado, after a 9-hour drive. I had brought a few things from home to make sure we had dinner covered the first night (the beauty of road tripping), but I had forgotten herbs, spices, oils. Thankfully, I had onions, garlic, and ginger! The kids declared this Simple Vegetable Soup with Creamy Coconut Broth one of their favorites and requested that I make it again as soon as we get back home. I am, sharing this soup made with truly simple ingredients, also perfect for vacation rental cooking. A totally awesome twist on the traditional minestrone.

Pasta with Greens in Creamy Wine Sauce

Pasta with Greens in Creamy Wine Sauce
Pasta with Greens in Creamy Wine Sauce

Now if you want to fancy up your pasta night, try this Pasta with Greens in Creamy Wine Sauce. If it sounds complexe, it’s actually pretty easy. And quick. Like 15 minutes quick. You can even skip the wine part and achieve pretty similar (and awesome) results. As with many of my recipes, take this as a technique, and switch up the vegetables according to the seasons. These days, the markets are filled with sprouts, leeks, and my favorite green, spigarello.

You’ll find spigarello in many of my recipes. It’s an heirloom variety of broccoli, native to southern Italy, considered the parent of broccoli-rabe. Unlike broccoli, however, you eat the leaves of spigarello, as the plant doesn’t produce florets. The taste, for me, is somewhere between kale and a very mild broccoli. It’s extremely versatile, it can be added to many dishes, and it’s popping up at farmers markets throughout the country. Look out for it. And if you can’t find it, feel free to use lacinato kale, or beet greens instead.

Pasta with Greens in Creamy Wine Sauce

  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive or coconut oil
  • 1 leek, cleaned, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 can coconut milk
  • 1 bunch spigarello, chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pack of your favorite pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • Garnish (always optional): sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, fresh thyme

Instructions

In a large straight-edge sautรฉ pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the leek, garlic, Brussels sprouts, thyme, and generous pinches of both sea salt and pepper. Sautรฉ, stirring often, until tender and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Feel free to play with your heat in order to achieve a nice caramelized color on your vegetables. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, and let reduce about one minute. Add the coconut milk and heat through. Add the spigarello and continue cooking until the greens are tender, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. You will most probably need to add sea salt and pepper at this point, all normal. When your sauce is ready, add enough of the cooked pasta to the pan for the sauce. Mix well. Serve garnished with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes. Bon appรฉtit!

Rotini sauce crรฉmeuse au vin blanc avec lรฉgumes verts

Pour une soirรฉe pasta qui sort de la routine, essayez cette recette! Bien qu’elle semble complexe, cette recette est d’une simplicitรฉ et d’une vitesse exemplaires. Vous pouvez la commencer ET la finir en 15 minutes! Et comme pour beaucoup de mes recettes, cette recette de pasta devient un canvas que l’on peint selon les saisons et les rรฉcoltes.

Le spigarello est une ancienne variรฉtรฉ de brocoli, originaire du sud de l’Italie. On le considรจre comme le parent du rapini et, contrairement au brocoli, ce sont les feuilles du spigarello qui sont comestibles, comme la plante ne produit pas de fleurons. Le goรปt, selon moi, est un croisement entre la kale et le brocoli. Il s’agit d’une verdure รฉtonnamment versatile, qui peut รชtre utilisรฉe de bien des faรงons. Ouvrez l’oeil, on commence ร  le voir apparaรฎtre dans les marchรฉs fermiers ร  travers la province.

Coconut Green Spring Soup

Coconut Green Spring Soup
Coconut Green Spring Soup

It is now Spring in Arizona. The fruit trees are starting to bud, the seeds are sprouting. And this weather inspired this refreshing Coconut Green Spring Soup. The flavors in the soup, based on coconut milk, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass, are perfectly balanced. You could use other vegetables that cook somewhat quickly, as this soup is ready in a heartbeat! Longest thing is mincing and chopping. I served my soup over some ramen noodles, but any type of Asian noodles would work here. Ramen, soba, pad thai noodles, all good choices! I hope you enjoy this soup as much as my family did!

Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup

Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup
Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup

I took inspiration for this Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup in the wonderful Love and Lemons Cookbook. In her book, Jeanine Donofrio offers a Curried Parsnip & White Bean Soup that calls for curry powder and cardamom as the main spices. I added my 2 cents on the spices and I laced the soup with coconut milk. I top this Indian-Spiced Parsnip Soup with my Toasted Nuts and Seeds Mix, but feel free to improvise.

Coconut Milk Thai Soup

Coconut Milk Thai Soup
Coconut Milk Thai Soup

I’ve been making a version of this Coconut Milk Thai Soup for a long, long time. Every time I have a coconut milk urge (which is often!), I turn to my fridge and look at what I could toss in a Thai soup. This time, my friend Darlene had brought me Thai basil from her garden. It was a golden opportunity!

I had bok choy, zucchini, mushrooms, and red bell pepper in the fridge. Other times it could have beenย sweet potato, tofu, and kale. You can pretty much empty your fridge into this soup. It is versatile, easy to make, bright, and nourishing. It stays nice for leftovers the next day as well. The kids love it, too!

If you make this recipe, Iโ€™d love to see it! Please tagย @LivityGardensย on social.

Coconut Milk Thai Soup

  • Author: Karine K
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 chile pepper, minced
  • 1 lemongrass stalk, tender part only, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste (optional, your soup would be just fine without it)
  • 1 cup stemmed shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 1 Indonesian lime leaf, minced (optional)
  • 1 can (14-oz) coconut milk
  • Vegetables: zucchini, bok choy, carrots, bell pepper, cooked squash or sweet potato, basically whatever you have leftover or vegetables you think would go well
  • Juice of one lime
  • Garnishes: cilantro, lime wedges, minced Thai pepper, Thai basil

    Instructions

    In a large soup pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, chile pepper, lemongrass, and fresh ginger. Sautรฉ until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the red curry paste and cook for one minute more. Add the mushrooms and the vegetables you are planning to use, depending on their hardiness, so that they soften a bit before you finish cooking them in the broth.

    Add the broth and Indonesian lime leaves. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the vegetables are done, about 5-10 minutes, depending on the vegetables. If you add spinach, add it after this simmering time, as spinach doesn’t need to cook, just wilt. Then add the coconut milk, taste and adjust seasoning, and bring back to a gentle simmer. Before serving, turn the heat off and add the lime juice. Serve topped with Thai basil, fresh cilantro, fresh lime wedges. Bon appรฉtit!
