Winter Warmer Soup with Cavolo Nero
Recipe type: Soup
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
- 2-3 small to medium sized cavolo nero leaves (or savoy cabbage leaves)
- 1 l stock (I used chicken, but veg works fine, too – or bone broth for extra nourishment)
- 2 leeks
- A can of cannellini beans (leave out if just started the candida diet)
- Spices for seasoning (I used salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic and tumeric)
- Olive Oil for frying and marinating
- Optional: 2-3 slices of roast pork (or roast chicken/ turkey).
- Optional: a touch of apple cider vinegar to tenderize and marinate the meat (if using)
- If using meat you could marinate it in a little olive oil, spices and apple cider vinegar and set it aside.
- Chop the leeks and cavolo nero into bite size chunks.
- Then fry the leek in a little olive oil, salt & pepper until golden and soft.
- Bring 1 l stock to the boil. Add all the veg and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Towards the end add the cooked cannellini beans (and the finely chopped roast meat if you like).
- Bring to the boil briefly and let it simmer for a few more minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Either serve as is or blend to make a thick creamy soup.
