Raw Vegan Recipes: Kristen Suzanne’s Harvest Soup Recipe
by Kristen Suzanne
Having plenty of raw food on hand is one of the keys to success with living the raw food lifestyle; so, I always make plenty extra when I prepare Raw recipes. This way I always have something “ready to eat” for the next couple of days. Raw Soups are to be considered when planning the ready-to-eat menu. This soup also makes a great starter for any Raw Vegan Thanksgiving or Raw Vegan Christmas menu. Enjoy!
Kristen Suzanne’s Harvest Soup Recipe
Who needs cooked food with this most delicious, full of colors soup? Those are two glass-mason jars full of the soup, in the background of the picture. I can drink the soup straight out of the jar, easily take it with me when I’m running errands, or snack on it late at night when I’m watching a movie.
Yield 6 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 large zucchini, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, quartered
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 cups carrot, chopped
- 2 dates, pitted
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 teaspoons Himalayan crystal salt
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup flax oil
Preparation
Blend all of the ingredients, except for the flax oil, on high speed in your blender until really creamy (approximately one minute – I prefer this soup a tad warm and very creamy). Then, while the blender is running on low speed, add the flax oil. Continue blending, at a higher speed, for another minute or less. This will make it slightly warm. Enjoy!
Variations:
- Substitute olive oil for the flax oil
- Add 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- Add 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
