Grandma’s Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 6 quarts water
- 10 large carrot
- 1 bunch of celery
- 3 large leeks
- 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 bunch dill
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dandelion Root optional
- 1 tablespoon Burdock root optional
- 3 large slices of Reishi mushroom optional
- 2 large pieces of Turkey Tail Mushroom optional
Instructions
- Boil water. Keep heat low and cook longer to preserve nutrients. Begin by adding mushrooms, roots and chopped carrots. Wait about 15 minutes then add chopped celery, garlic and leeks. Wait about 5 minutes then add all ingredients, except parsley and dill. Add lid, stir occasionally and let cook for 20 minutes. If carrots are soft turn heat off and stir in parsley and dill. This is the time to taste and stir in any further seasonings. This is a great recipe to freeze for later so feel free to make a huge batch. Add more water if you want more broth for later. Serve and enjoy!
