Healthy Soup Recipes

These healthy soup recipes are for those who are either transitioning to a raw food diet and still like to include some cooked food, OR for those who like to invite friends over for dinner and would like to offer a mix of cooked and raw food.

These healthy soup recipes contain NO salt and very simple ingredients.

I find it quite strange when I read a soup recipe and find that it contains so many unnecessary ingredients, such as various types of stock, salt, oil etc.

These are simple healthy recipes with few ingredients, and, when served with a massive salad make up a pretty awesome healthy and satisfying meal for those who prefer to include some cooked food on the menu.

We prepared these soups for friends while on holiday and served them with other raw dishes, such as this picture below where a butternut soup is served with Nut Cheez and Avo Handrolls, a raw Tomato Soup and romaine lettuce leaves which we dipped in the soup as the 'bread'.

The recipes for the Tomato Soup and the Nut Cheez and Avo Hand Rolls can be found in my recipe ebook: Simple Raw Food Recipes: Easy Raw Food Recipes For Busy People

Healthy Soup Recipes - Thai Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

1x Large Butternut
1x Large Onion
1-2x Cups Coconut Cream
Chilli/Curry Spice
Handful Garlic Chives

Method:

Peel and dice the butternut. Peel and chop the onion. Add the butternut and onion to a steamer and steam until cooked.

Throw into a blender with the coconut cream and some curry or chilli spice and blend. Do it in stages so that you don't overload your blender. Taste test as you go to make sure you have enough spices for your liking.

Once all the butternut and onion is blended with some spice and coconut cream, put it into a serving bowl.

Chop some garlic chives or other fresh herbs of your choice and throw over the top.

Serve with big romaine lettuce leaves for dipping into the soup.

Serves 6

No one has ever asked us for some salt when we have served this recipe! So it is a winner in terms of healthy soup recipes for all cooked food eaters.

Note: For the coconut cream in these recipes, you can buy this from any supermarket. Read the label and make sure that the only ingredients are coconut and water. Do not buy coconut creams that are filled with unnecessary (and harmful) additives. You can also simply use coconut meat from fresh coconuts and blend up with a little water until it forms a cream!
