Vitamin A Soup Recipe

/15 Comments/in , , , , /by

Well, actually, it’s Butternut Squash, Carrot and Sweet Potato soup – but these three are loaded with Vitamin A and Beta-carotene as well as many other vitamins and minerals.

I love soup – even though it’s summer here in Australia at the moment, I still eat it regularly.  I find it really filling as a meal on its own and easy to make in advance.  This is something I make in the largest pot I have and separate out into lots of individual portions, before freezing.  I make lots of different soups, but this one is my favourite as it’s sweet and has a great texture.

Ingredients
  • 1 Butternut Squash
  • 6 Carrots
  • 1 Small Sweet Potato
  • 2 Small Onions
  • Chicken Stock
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Nutmeg
  • Corriander
  • Salt & Pepper
Instructions
  1. I slice the onion and sauté it in the coconut oil in a large pot. Once it’s ready I add the chicken stock (this is something I make up in advance and take out of the freezer to defrost).
  2. I roughly cut all the vegetables into chunks before adding them to the pot. I then turn the heat down to a simmer and allow the vegetables to cook for 30 minutes or so, adding the seasoning. I add the nutmeg and coriander at the end and turn off the heat.
  3. I don’t drain the pot, but instead transfer it all into my blender (in several batches) and blend it until it reaches a nice constituency. Once it’s all blended I separate it into individual portions and freeze.

Cinnamon Sweet Potato Beef Hash

/6 Comments/in , , , , /by

I didn't have much spare time last night and an almost empty fridge, so I had to get a bit creative in the kitchen to make my Paleo dinner.

I had half a packet of organic beef mince, a few veggies and lots of herbs; this is what I put together in under 30 minutes.  This would work with whichever vegetables you have, I was just limited by a very overdue shopping trip.

Recipe type: Dinner

Ingredients
  • 200g Organic Beef Mince
  • Tablespoon coconut oil (I'm using Melrose organic unrefined coconut oil at the moment)
  • Quarter of a sweet potato, grated
  • Half a zucchini, grated
  • 3 mushrooms, grated
  • Half a red onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 capsicum, diced
  • 1 small tin organic tomato paste (the brand I use has no added ingredients, other than tomatoes)
  • I used 1 teaspoon of each garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon (I love cinnamon and have been using it in everything lately!) & salt (I'm using pink Himalayan salt at the moment), oregano and thyme
Instructions
  1. I diced the onion and sautéed it in the coconut oil.
  2. I then grated the sweet potato and added it to the onions.
  3. After a few minutes on the heat, I added the mince.
  4. Once the meat was thoroughly browned, I added the remaining vegetables, the tomato paste, the herbs and seasoning.
  5. I continued to cook for about ten minutes, whilst stirring frequently.
  6. With everything minced, grated or diced, it all cooked very quickly; perfect for a busy evening like last night!
  7. I just wish I'd made extra for lunch leftovers...
