Earth Soup in Honor of Mother Earth

Marguerita's Earth Soup

Although we should honor Mother Earth every day - April 21,2010 is the day on our calender which is dedicated to Mother Earth.  Below is my recipe which I call "Earth Soup" - because as you will notice - all the ingredients (with the exception of cream which is optional) are root vegetables and grown into the earth.

Ingredients:

In a large pot -

1-2 stalks of celery

3-4 peeled carrots

turnip and/or rutabega peeled and cut into small pieces

2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into small pieces

2 large white potatoes peeled and cut into small pieces

Place these ingredients into pot, cover with water and bring to boil.  Turn heat down and let simmer on the stove.  At this time you can add either "Better than" chicken or vegetable bullion. 

In a separate pan coated with olive oil

place a generous amount (handful) of freshley peeled garlic cloves chopped

and 3-4 peeled and chopped red onion

cook onion and garlic until it carmelizes - and place on the side

Back to the first pot - you can now run the vegetables through either a food processer or if they are cooked long enough - the vegetables can be mashed with a fork and slotted spoon

(this is my preferred method)

Add salt and pepper to taste

you can now add 1/4 cup of cream to the broth (optional)

stir - mixing in lots of love and white light energy

At this point put in your onion mixture - stir some more.

I like to add fresh sprigs of sage, basil and tyme (torn leaves) along

with a hand crushed sprig of parsley and some rosemary

Earth Soup served with a salad and Italian bread makes a perfect dinner for a chilly day in

April or any other month where warmth and comfort are needed.  Also a good meal to serve if your head is stuck in the clouds and you need to feel more grounded.

Earth Soup also tastes good without the cream for vegan vegetarians and if you are so inclined - this soup is delicious with added cooked sausage and/or cheddar cheese

You can add or delete any ingredient to make it your own version of "Earth Soup"

Thank God the Father and Goddess the Mother for this delicious nutrition -

"stirred with love and light to eat together as a family with delight"
