Zippy Energy Soup
Yield 3 cups
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
2 cups kale
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 avocado pitted and peeled
1 tablespoon Garlic Red Pepper Miso*
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
3/4 - 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
* South River Miso is the BEST miso on the planet. It's organic and they even offer soy-free varieties, like the one used in this soup. You can substitute with any flavor miso, but Garlic Red Pepper is so very much especially nice. Last year I bought a mixture of about 10 jars of their various miso from them. They basically last forever so I stock up and take advantage of their 10% discount on orders $100 or more.

What the heck is with that spacing on my post - lol? Blogger is different in the area where I create my posts and now it's not like it should look. boohoo!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I love how you use romaine a lot. Some ppl discount it because it isn't super dark like spinach. But it's such a great veggie!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post. I wish I had that zippy soup right now!!

Thanks for the miso tip! The soup looks fantastic and simple, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI finally received my order from South River Miso. I will have to try this soup. Does it taste better a little warmed in the vitamix? Its so cold here right now! Hope you and the little one and hubby are feeling terrific Kristin!
ReplyDeleteSure, blend til a little warm. Miso itself has warming properties so that's nice.
ReplyDeletePlus, drink the miso plain in warm/hot cup if water... Feel the warmth from head to toe!
Wow Kristen, this looks INCREDIBLE! Can't wait to try it ;)
ReplyDeleteCould I post this on my blog w/ credit & a link to yours. I would LOVE to share this!
Thanks~

HI Cyndee,
ReplyDeleteSure thing. Thx for asking. :)
Cheers,
Kristen
Love love love South River!! Just got some more chickpea-soy free! YUM! My hubby loves it too, I think it gives recipes that "wine" taste! mmm! Great soup! YUM!
ReplyDeleteSo good! This recipe has several of my favorites: avo, miso, wasabi, and kale. How could I not LOVE it?
ReplyDeleteYeah, blogger is buggy sometimes. I get the spacing issue among other things from time to time.
ReplyDeleteMmmm...wasabi...
And I'll have to check out South River miso. Haven't seen that brand but now, I'll be on the lookout. :)
This soup sounds delicious! I'm going to try it out tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!

Yummy!Yummy! Wonderful soup! I will make it. Thank you for your constant inspirations;-0)
ReplyDeleteXOXOXO.
Went to my co-op after reading your post last night and they had the South River Garlic Red Pepper Miso!!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited, and you're right, it is delicious. It will be making many appearances in my menu today :)
There are SO many energy soups out there, and this one really seems like a standout to me!! Thank you for offering your own perfect rendition of a raw classic :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I never know what kind of Miso to buy :-) Once you open Miso how long on average would you say it will last in the fridge??
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm..... I've had opened jars for many months. They say it lasts pretty much forever, although I'm not sure if that's once it's opened. Good question. I'll try to find out.
ReplyDeleteHi Gena,
I left out garlic and had you in mind - lol!
Mmmm, great way to use the real wasabi powder I just splurged on at Whole Foods, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Christine!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the heat rush in my nose - lol - when I use extra. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo I made it to bring along with my lunch tomorrow... tasted delish from the spoon along with some sweet onion bread http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/showthread.php?t=112 Thank you Kristen!
ReplyDeleteYippee, Kaysie! Thx for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI tried this recipe today for lunch (minus the avocado) with South River's soy-free miso and it was awesome! I love green soups and smoothies, so this is a new one I can add to my repertoire. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristin.

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know. :)
Cheers XOXO,
Kristen
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! I love raw soup.
ReplyDeleteI just confirmed with South River Miso about the expiration dates of their miso. They wrote to me saying, "Whether opened or not, our miso will keep indefinitely - years and years and years..."
ReplyDeleteKristen, would miso be a good thing to sub for soy products in various recipes? We are soy free, so I've always skipped the soy-containing recipes in your cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteThe miso is for flavoring and salt, and this company makes soy free varieties if you're interested (most miso is soy). What are you referring to in my books? I don't have much soy... the only time is with tamari and miso (of which both are fermented soy). You can substitute salt in both cases, a smaller amount of course. Or with soy-free miso.
ReplyDeleteI just got your dehydrator cookbook. It must be the crackers I'm thinking of? I don't have it in front of me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried fermented soy on my son. He can't do soy protein, but seems to tolerate small amounts of soy oil & lecithin. I have wheat-free tamari. I should bite the bullet & just try it!
Many people tolerate fermented soy better than plain soy but allergies aren't something to mess with (especially kids). On the tamari bottle there should be a conversion for how much salt to replace it with that you can use as a guideline. :)
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't have an anaphylactic reaction, just an upset tummy/behavioral/sleep disruption reaction. Maybe I'm wait until the baby is a little older :)
ReplyDeleteHi Brenna Kater,
ReplyDeleteGotcha - I understand. :)
Sounds like a yummy soup recipe I need to try! :) Mmm!
