It’s soup weather again and such a great easy lunch you can prepare and have for a few days in a row.
Celery and Asparagus soup.
Asparagus is a prebiotic food and is great for feeding the good bacteria in your gut.
Celery is alkaline so reduces the acidity in your body, it helps reduce inflammation, is an insoluble fiber so great for helping the bowels move, and regulating blood sugar levels to aid with weight loss.

30 mils of coconut oil
1 onion (chopped)
6 stalks of celery (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
950 mils of water
1 tsp of salt
1 pinch of pepper
402 gm of asparagus (woody ends snapped off)
80 gm hemp seeds (or cashew nuts)
120 grams of baby spinach

- Heat coconut oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion and celery and sauté for 5 mins until veggies are softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute or so.

I also added some natural yogurt and pumpkin seeds to mine.
