Rainbow Lunches

#recipe alert! #yummy #wintersoup Base: About a cup each or (as little or as much as you like) Finely chopped parsley, carrot, onion, celery, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes.... 1. Saute in a medium pot until softened 2. add in 2 cups of chickpeas and saute for a few more minutes 3. add in a cup of rinsed red lentils 4. let your inner chef loose and season as you wish...I used cumin, turmeric, ginger, white pepper and salt 5. add 6 cups of water or stock and bring to a rolling boil for about 10 minutes 6. reduce heat and allow to simmer for another 10 minutes 7. scoop out and #enjoy!!! You can add or omit any of the ingredients but here's the low down on these: PARSLEY-protects your blood vessels while fighting disease and beating inflammation CARROTS-help lower cholesterol and improve eye health RED ONIONS-have anti-bacterial properties, help boost digestive health and bone density CELERY-is low on the glycemic index meaning it has a slow steady effect on your blood sugar GARLIC-helps relieve stubborn cold and flu symptoms but omit it if you suffer from asthma CILANTRO-either loved or loathed but not cuz you're picky it's actually your genetic make up that determines your taste for this incredible herb...it helps ease anxiety, balance blood sugar and supports vision TOMATOES-are the major dietary source of lycopene which assist in reducing your risk of heart disease and cancer. just a little reminder that lycopene in tomatoes is released upon cooking them. RED LENTILS-offer fiber and sustenance while supporting your heart health and protein is required for plant based eating so the CHICKPEAS in this #yummy winter #soup help with that #happycooking #unknownchef #eatwell
