Note:

  1. The recipe called for 1 tsp of curry powder, so I made it with 1 tsp of curry powder and we felt it was too much curry powder, so reduced to 3/4 tsp.

2 pounds fresh pumpkin (since this is not pumpkin season, I used butternut squash)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Wash beets, potatoes and pumpkin well. Cut the beets, potatoes and pumpkin into 2" pieces.

Warning: It tasted really awesome when we had it for dinner, that is immediately after I prepared. But it became sour before lunch the next day, not sure how and why. So if you will be eating this immediately after preparing, its good, in that case, just roast 1/2 portion what I have in the picture and proceed.

Cream Of Broccoli Soup

Serves: 2

Steam Broccoli


1 bundle broccoli (after cleaning 7.46 ounces florets)


Wash broccoli florets.

2 cups water

Allow the water to boil.

Add washed broccoli floret to steamer basket.


Insert the steamer basket to the pan with boiling water, close the pan, reduce the heat to low and steam the broccoli for 6 minutes.


Cool to room temperature, if making it fresh! It cools down very fast like in 5 minutes, but I left it for 9 minutes to cool.

Bake Potato


1 small baking potato, baked and skin removed, Cool to room temperature, if making it fresh!

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper powder

Scrub the potatoes throughly under running water and pat them dry. Rub the potatoes with olive oil. Generously sprinkle potatoes with salt and black pepper powder. Prick the potatoes in few places with fork. This allows the steam to escape from the baking potato. Place them a few inches apart on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake the potatoes for 50 to 60 minutes. Flip them every 20 minutes or so and check them for doneness by piercing them with fork. Potatoes are done when the skins are dry and the inside feels completely soft when pierced.

Note: If you are eating baked potatoes and you want softer skins, wrap the potatoes in foil before baking. I am baking 2 potatoes. One weighs 8.17 ounces and another one is 7.92 ounces. I will be making this soup for the following day's lunch as well. So I am baking 2 potatoes.

Soup


2 cups plant based milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Allow all the ingredients to cool fully.

Once cool, add all ingredients to the SouperBlast Pitcher and extract on the 7-Minute Heated Cycle.

Yields: 4 cups
Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME. Tasted like potato soup, didn't taste broccoli that much.
Note: Since I am rubbing potatoes with salt and pepper before baking, DO NOT add more than 1/4 tsp of black pepper while grinding. First time when I prepared this, I added 1/2 tsp of black pepper and it was way too spicy.

Yields: 8 cups
Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME
Note: Original recipe asked to puree 2/3 and mix with the remaining 1/3. Since I am on liquid diet, i pureed everything, I like watery soup much better than creamy soup. I think I would love the watery version, but I haven't tasted that yet.

Source: Nature's Prescription For Optimum Health from Nutri Bullet Rx
Yields:  5 cups
Taste Note: Tastes NOT GOOD. The smell and taste of raw cauliflower was not good. I also made a mistake, added 1/4 tsp of cayenne, which made the soup tasted so spicy, I added 4 tbsp coconut sugar, so that I can eat this soup, but didn't like the cauliflower taste in this soup. Simply Yukky, but definitely not as bad as Zucchini Hemp which was horrible.
