Raw Super Quick Veggie Soup

Raw Super Quick Soup
Serves: 2
meat-free, dairy-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free
 

Ingredients:

• 4 cups Water
• 2 cups chopped Veggies*
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic
• 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Heat Water to 118 degrees
2. Divide Veggies into two bowls
3. Mix in Water & Seasonings
4. Dig in!

Hoff Thoughts: When eating raw, food should not exceed 118 degrees.  A Vitamix should raise the temperature of food 10 degrees every minute it is run. However, my Vitamix runs hotter; it's a good practice to use a meat thermometer to test how hot this sauce gets based on how long you run your machine.  Three minutes for me = 115 degrees.

*To make this soup extra quick & easy, buy pre-cut Veggies from the produce isle.  Make this soup your own by using your favorite seasonings.

Happy St Pats!
