Warm & Slightly Cool
December 3, 2008
As the cooler weather lingers we may find ourselves craving foods that are a little warmer to the body. Bringing out the big pots and making warming soups has been a favourite of mine. Today’s Special: Mushroom Soup with Spinach & Pear Salad.
Mushroom Soup
1-2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 small onion
3-4 garlic cloves (minced)
7 button mushrooms
7 cremini mushrooms
3 cups of chicken or beef broth
salt & pepper to taste
Heat oil in medium pot. Saute garlic and onions until tender. Add mushrooms and saute for a few minutes. Add broth and allow to boil. Then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Take a hand blender or place in a blender and blender until the desired consistency. If you have a Vita-Mix you can place all ingredients in and blend until desired consistency. Serves 4.
Spinach & Pear Salad
2 handfuls of baby spinach
1/2 a pear (sliced)
1 handful of toasted pecans
1-2 Tbsp flaxseed oil
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
sprinkle of blue cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together and enjoy. Serves 1
