This week, I was sick. Like super sick. And as per usual, everyone was telling me to make some soup... I'd always hated soup, but that's because I hadn't made any from scratch before. Honestly, I don't know what took me so long - it's super easy to make, and oh so good!! 


This soup is perfect for those that aren't big fans of chunky vegetables. The veggies are cooked in the broth, and then pureed to make a delicious (yet smooth) broth). 


Gentle enough in flavor, yet packed with all the good things - this soup is sure to help you feel better! 

Ingredients
  • 8 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 white onion, peeled and quartered

  • 1/4 - 1/2 inch of ginger

  • 3 medium carrots, peeled

  • 4 celery sticks, chopped in half

  • 6-8 garlic cloves

  • Salt, to taste (can omit if broth is salted)

  • 1-2 tsp ground turmeric

  • 1/2 package (approx. 2 cups), small shell noodles (or other small pasta of choice)

  • Lime wedges, to top

Steps
  1. Add vegetable broth to a large pot, and bring to a soft boil

  2. Add all of your vegetables, and let simmer for 25 minutes

  3. Cook your pasta, as the broth is simmering

  4. Carefully spoon out your vegetables (using a slotted spoon), and transfer to a blender. Add in 2 cups of the broth. Let cool, then puree until smooth. 

  5. Pour puree back into the broth, and mix to combine. 

  6. Add in ground turmeric (and any other herb/spice of choice), mix to combine, and simmer another 2-3 minutes. 

  7. Transfer pasta to a bowl, ladel broth over noodles. 

  8. Top with lime wedges, parsley, ground red pepper flakes, or other herb/spice of choice. Enjoy!

Welcome to Happy. Nourished. Well! 

I'm Sadie, the mastermind behind all the delicious and nourishing recipes you'll find here.

Growing up in Central Texas and being someone who did not particularly enjoy eating meat, I was quickly labeled a "picky eater" as a child. But that couldn't be any further from the truth!  

​​

After experimenting with food, I discovered my love for fresh ingredients, and now I can't get enough! The farmers market is my happy place, and if I have any spare time during the week, you can almost always find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe. 

​

Trust me, there's nothing better than the flavors, textures, and colors of freshly made food. So, let's have some fun and try out a recipe or two!
