Nutritarian - day 2


Breakfast was the same Choco Green Smoothie from yesterday.

Lunch was the leftover silky cauliflower soup from yesterday, fresh pineapple, and a fajita. I used the Taste of Home fajita recipe, only with less oil and without the chicken. I didn't even miss the meat.
I put it on a whole wheat tortilla and added guacamole and Daiya cheese. It was so good I forgot to take a picture. No worries. I think I'll have it next week and post a picture then.
  Dinner as the leftover quinoa and grilled sourdough salad from yesterday and Creamy While Bean Soup with Kale, Rosemary and Lemon.


Creamy White Bean Soup with Kale, Rosemary and Lemon.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon heat-tolerant oil,such as avocado or refined coconut oil

1 medium yellow onion, smalldice

1 medium carrot, small dice

1 celery rib, small dice

2 cloves garlic, minced

chili flakes or aleppo pepper, to taste

1 sprig fresh rosemary, minced

4 cups cooked navy beans (about 2 15-ounce cans, drained)

4 cups vegetable stock

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste

3 cups packed chopped lacinato kale (roughly 1 small bunch)

 

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oil in a medium-large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pot and stir. Saute the vegetables until lightly softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

 

To the pot, add the garlic, chili flakes, and rosemary. Stir and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the navy beans to the pot and stir. Add the vegetable stock to the pot and stir once more. Bring the soup to a boil.

 

Once boiling, ladle half of the soup into an upright blender. Add the lemon juice to the blender as well. Carefully bring the speed of the blender up to high and blend until this portion of the soup is totally liquified. Pour this liquified portion back into the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper.

 

Add the kale to the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Once the kale is slightly wilted and bright green, season the soup once more with salt and pepper, if you find it necessary. Stir in the chopped parsley as well. Serve the soup hot
