• Celery (preferably stick)
• Fennel

Steps to make Refreshing Creamy Green Soup

How to serve this creamy green soup

You can definitely serve this cream soup by itself or you can pair it with things like Greek olives, various types of raw nuts, avocado, your favorite hard or soft cheese, and even raw garlic and onion.

I served my portion with the following extras:

• Comté Cheese – French origin cheese, aged for 18 months, made from raw milk
• Cherry Tomatoes – perfect sweet and sour flavor
• Kalamata Olives – they’re full of healthy fats!
• Green Beans – boiled green beans for extra protein plus vitamins A and C

Health Benefits associated with our green soup

This soup has a perfectly creamy texture and a wonderful fresh taste. You know this already. But what really makes this soup healthy? Well … here’s a breakdown of the ingredients used and their associated health benefits:

• Frozen Spinach – Spinach comes packed with lots of healthy nutrients like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and healthy fiber. Spinach is also responsible for the green color of this soup.
• Sweet Potato – When I think at sweet potatoes, I instantly associate them with resistant starch (a healthy type of fiber). Sweet potatoes are also famous for having vitamins A, B and C, plus some minerals.
• Carrots – Like sweet potatoes, carrots are loaded with vitamin A, plus B vitamins and vitamin C. They also provide some minerals.
• Celery and Fennel – These two vegetables are a perfect match for any soup. Celery and Fennel are loaded with various phytonutrients that have antioxidant properties. They are simply wonderful plants that I also like using in my smoothies.
• Bell Pepper – Together with carrots, celery and fennel, bell peppers are part of almost all my soup recipes. They’re loaded with B vitamins and vitamin C, as well as different phytonutrients.
• Garlic, Onion, Jalapeño – They come with unique phytonutrients like flavonoids, sulfur-containing compounds, or organic acids. Plus they enhance the flavor of any soup.
• Full-Fat Sour Cream – I use it for two reasons: as a way to easily mix those cooked vegetables into a perfectly creamy soup, but I also use full-fat sour cream for adding beneficial healthy fats that will transform this soup into low-carb and keto friendly meal. You can also replace full-fat cream with avocado or extra virgin coconut oil, ending-up with a vegan recipe instead.
• Himalayan Salt – I use it for its pure taste and high mineral content. Note that natural saline salt works great as well.

Give this recipe a try and I bet you won’t regret it! This soup works great when you have a cold, when you feel tired or when you simply want something “green” to eat. It’s guaranteed to heal you from the inside out and it’s great for your gut flora as well.
