Guide to Delicious Homemade Soup

One of my favorite comfort foods during the winter is soup!! There’s something about the blend of flavors, the hearty goodness, and the warmth it brings to the soul. Canned soup is good but full of preservatives and very high in sodium. Homemade is definitely the way to go, but some might be weary thinking it takes way too long to make. Honestly, I thought that too until I made a batch and found that it really isn’t that difficult and the leftovers are great for freezer storage. You can choose any ingredients you want to, and it’s completely tailorable to your family’s likes. Check out the link below for some simple steps on how to make homemade soup. Remember soup can be made in many different ways including slow cookers and instant pots!!

Who doesn’t LOVE soup in the winter??? Soup is one of my FAVORITE comfort foods to stay warm in the winter! Do you love soup??? One of my favorites that my mom makes is Veggie Soup- I wanted to come up with something that might match it- and this is one good soup!

And of course my favorite clean recipe websites had the perfect recipe as always!

This formula is a long time in the making.

I know, I know. It’s vegetable soup. How complicated could it be?

You see there are a few recipes that have always stumped me. I pour in tons of herbs and spices and add lots of nutritious, delicious ingredients, and I end up with a complete dud that has “garbage disposal” written all over it (Thank goodness for a husband who is willing to eat most of my mistakes!).

But it finally dawned on me that the real problem was with my ratios. Spice to liquid to additions ratios. So I started from scratch and ended up with some pretty darn good soup! And the best part is, this is a formula instead of a recipe. So you can use whatever veggies you have in the fridge and still come out with a yummy, veggie soup!

TELL ME ABOUT YOU!
Are there any recipes that just completely baffle you? Recipes you just cannot get right no matter how often you try?

Clean Eating “Build It Yourself” Vegetable Soup

Ingredients
Any veggies you can put together, chopped small
Veggie broth and/or chicken broth, no sugar added, low sodium
No sodium vegetable bouillon (I use the Rapunzel brand – great stuff!)
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cooked beans (optional)

Directions

For every cup of chopped veggies, use approximately 2 cups broth.

For every 2 cups broth, use 1 bouillon cube.

For every 2 cups broth, stir in 2 tsp. onion powder and garlic powder.

Bring everything to a boil and cook until the veggies are fully cooked.

Allow to cool and salt to taste.

Eat and Enjoy!

Note: If you are using onions and/or fresh garlic, saute them first in the soup pot using 1 tbsp. olive oil. Then add everything else in.

For my soup I used:

Cauliflower
Celery
Carrots
Green bell peppers
Mushrooms
Onions
