Ital Soup

First recipe!

Ital is Vital. No salt, no meat. Just pure vitamins and nutrients your body needs. I made this soup the other day because I had not been feeling well. This soup is what I like to call Jamaican penicillin because it has just about everything you need in one pot to feed your body. Just add freshly juiced fruit and you have a complete meal!

Here is my version...

Chop up some kale and stick it in a big pot. Then cut a peeled butternut squash into medium size chunks and throw that in to.

 

Then cut up a peeled sweet potato in the same size chunks as the squash so everything will cook evenly.

 

Then add some sliced carrots.

 

Add a peeled and chopped white potato.

 

Add some garlic cloves and a chopped up yellow onion.

 

 

Cut up a plantain into 4 pieces and add it in.

 

Add in enough water to cover all the veggies.

 

Cover it and simmer it on medium heat for about an hour or until all the veggies are soft but not mushy. Don't cook it to death ;)

 

Half way through, cut a small piece of fresh ginger root and put it in, as well as some oregano and thyme. Cover it back up and keep simmering.

 

15 minutes after that I add a can of coconut milk and simmer it for another 15.

 

 

Eat it! Nom nom nom...

 

 

Let me know what you think!
