To Feed Your Heart

A heart healthy warm soup for fall that cost almost nothing. Fall is here, it’s time for soups and stews, chilli and baking. The most heart healthy, vegan friendly, cost effective thing we could think of was cabbage soup. No grease means it’s vein cleaning. Unclog your arteries and get back to life.

Luckily it’s really simple. You need to be able to boil water. After that get ready to chop.

Ingredients

One Three pound Cabbage
One Onion
Three Garlic Cloves
Three Carrots
Three Small Potatoes
Three Stalks of Celery
Coarse smoky Sea Salt
Pepper

Recipe by Shannon Jones

Clean and wash all the vegetables. Cut and prepare all the vegetables to the same 1/4 inch dice.

In a large Skillet or Dutch oven heat three tablespoons of olive or coconut oil.

First add onions celery and carrots roast until soft. Stir in cabbage and potatoes only to brown and coat them. I simply add water. You may want to use chicken stock or beef, but this soup will be versatile if you only add water. Leftovers can be re used.

Cook soup over medium heat until all is tender. Add herbs such as rosemary and thyme in the last 15 minutes of cooking for an aromatic dish.Top with a dollop of non fat Greek Yogurt and serve With a crusty loaf sliced on top for an extra treat.

The next day, you may add a drumstick or chicken thigh, for a little meat.

Soup is amazing, the more root vegetables you add in, the more flavorful the soup will become. But to do it seven days takes an amazing amount of chopping and prep work. I recommend adding ingredients every day to the soup from previous nights. Add a little broth, maybe a fresh tomato,Some chopped jicama or a turnip can be exciting and new. Whatever you have handy.

Just be mindful of salt and fat added in broth and meat products, and this soup is awesome! Easy, versatile and healthy. You cant go wrong with the ingredients. The key is simmer, simmer down.

You can always add drained low sodium carrots, peas, or greens as well.

I hope you try this recipe and enjoy the healthy benefits soup in the fall can offer you.

Hidden behind our eye’s lies our thoughts, intentions and desire’s.

Not far behind the retina is the neural network that composes you. What you wish for the most happens right there, behind your eye’s.
What comes out of your mouth and the action you portray are what others see. If you find yourself hidden inside is there a reason why?
Hiding your true desires can be attributed to shame of them usually. You want something your afraid to ask for. Others will judge you for it, you know.
Somethings out of your reach and you’ll feel like a fool for others to know what you secretly desire.
Is what you want so wrong? Possibly but better yet is it something you need in your life? Is this something you want to fulfill yourself or is it a waning desire.
Asking yourself the right questions is the beginning.
“I want this!” Why, is it what your looking for to fill the needs of your future life? Or was something I thought I wanted and later on will wished I hadn’t.
Hidden behind your eye’s lies your true desires. You control what you desire not what they want you to. Be careful, the worlds is full of experts at triggering your desire. What they want you want, monkey see, monkey do, if you don’t pay attention, they’ve got you.
Watch everything you watch through filter a filtered lens of understanding what they want you to do. Then go on and enjoy the show. Understanding yourself will help!
Do what the advertisers do and start with a goal. What do you want to outcome of this course of your life to be? When it’s over, what do you think you’ll see. What do you need to do to get from here to there? When do you need to do them? And when you feel an important decision in your life has to be made does it meet those goals. It’s not easy to filter what you see, but when it comes to your hearts desire, it’s worth doing.
