Savory Winter Vegetable Soup – a simple yet delicious winter soup that is absolutely delicious and Whole30 compliant!
I know, I know …. vegetable soup. Can’t be THAT exciting, can it? I promise you guys, it really is.
It really has everything to do with my secret ingredient – ghee. It just adds that little extra something to make this soup better than any other vegetable soup … ever.
This is the kind of soup I will make a big batch of on the weekend and then eat throughout the week, bring to work, or even have a little before bed if I am feeling hungry. It is so good for you and so delicious – my favorite combo. It is Whole30 compliant and it can be vegetarian/vegan if you leave out the ghee – I promise it still tastes good that way too!
(make sure you read your vegetable broth labels very closely – many are not compliant!)
As far as my January Whole30, it is officially day 14! 2 weeks down – they have flown by! Overall, I am feeling so good – so much energy. Starting to get a little sick of my “regular” food, but that is just when I mix it up and try some new recipes. That is so key for me, especially for dinner. I can eat the same thing for dinner pretty much every day and I am fine. Dinner needs to be different. I mean I have my few go-to’s that we eat somewhat frequently, but other than that I love making new things for dinner. Other than that, I think the worst is behind me, although this round has been the easiest by far!
If you guys are doing January Whole30 with me, I hope you are really feeling amazing!
Kind of wishing I had a big bowl of this soup right now!! I kind of feel like cold is coming on – fingers crossed it is nothing ?
