When the days are slightly cooler, you want a meal that is warm, filling, and comforting. This kale soup is exactly the recipe you’ve been craving, whether you know it or not. It is a light broth that contains nutritionally dense ingredients and aromatic spices, such as thyme and rosemary. The squeeze of lemon gives this hearty soup a delicately bright finish that makes each spoonful better than the last. So if you are looking for a dish that is equal parts healthy, delicious, and cozy, this soup is it!

When it comes to making a great vegetable soup, it’s all about layering flavors. First and foremost, you have to sauté the aromatics. Cooking the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic with the rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper helps to give somewhat of a caramelized flavor. You don’t want to cook them fully; rather, you just want to par-cook them until they are nice and fragrant. You’ll add the beans and broth to the same pot and then bring to a boil before reducing to a low simmer. Only add the kale in the last few minutes of cooking, or else it will get too soft. You want the kale to retain some texture when you spoon the soup into bowls. The same goes for the lemon juice, because you want the soup to retain that tang when you slurp it up.

When it comes to kale, you can choose the variety you enjoy best. You can opt for green curly kale, Tuscan kale, lacinato kale, or even dinosaur kale. Don’t have kale on hand or can’t find it in the grocery store? You can swap it for another sturdy green, such as Swiss chard or collard greens. Just make sure to taste and season the soup as you go. Some of you may prefer more lemon juice, while others want to add more black pepper or rosemary. Feel free to experiment with flavors, even though this recipe is solid as a rock!

Clean eating is one of the best ways to aid the body’s natural detoxification processes. When you eat unprocessed, plant-based foods, the body has an easier time processing the food, which aids healthy elimination. As the weather starts to cool down, though, you may be a little timid about eating raw, plant-based meals. The mornings are brisk so smoothies may not appeal to you. Nobody wants to think about juicing with winter on the distant horizon. Fortunately, you can enjoy this carrot ginger soup raw and it’ll help warm up your insides.

Naturally, the carrots color this raw soup a beautiful orange, but carrots don’t warm you up. The provide a lovely sweetness that complements the spicy ginger and raw jalapeño. Those are the two ingredients that will keep you warm, alert, and feeling fresh and clean. Eating dinner can help reduce fermentation, constipation, and other causes of intestinal gas and bloating. Whether you consume fresh, ground, or pickled ginger, it has a warming effect on the body. It can brighten dishes and provides lots of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that benefit myriad bodily processes.

Similarly, raw jalapeño helps to warm you up from the inside. Unlike ginger, jalapeño tastes spicy. The reason for this is because it contains capsaicin. This plant compound tricks your brain into thinking that you are eating something hot. As you swallow the spicy food, the capsaicin spreads throughout the body, creating a warming effect. That means that every sip of this raw carrot ginger is going to warm you up until you finish the bowl!

This isn’t your ordinary vegetable soup because this soup is made with roasted vegetables, which offer deeper, richer flavors and a subtle smokiness. Once you roast your vegetables, blend them together to make a creamy, addictive soup. Although there are many adjectives that can accurately describe this soup, it is simply delicious. Blending all of the ingredients together helps create a rich, creamy consistency. And the great thing about this soup is that is is great for all culinary skill levels. It is very beginner-friendly!

Why should you roast vegetables instead of steaming or sautéing them? While steaming is a great way to cook vegetables, you miss out on the caramelized flavor and delightful smokiness that comes from roasting them. But not all vegetables roast equally, as some take longer to cook than others. For example, it takes longer to roast tomatoes and bell peppers than it does to roast beets and parsnips. Because this recipe contains bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes, make sure to cut them appropriately to ensure even roasting. It is more important to cut the sweet potatoes and carrots thinly and the rest of the ingredients can be roughly the same size.

This recipe includes various vegetables, but you can make this soup with a few adaptations. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand and incorporate different spices. Do you like a little spice? Throw some cayenne or chili powder into the mix. Consider adding beans for more protein. Opt out of the oat milk if you want a soup made strictly of vegetables. Don’t be afraid to put your own creative spin on this!

Roasted root vegetables can be an incredible side dish. It’s often a colorful medley ingredients, including squash, potatoes, onion, carrots, garlic, turnips, parsnips, or beets. While this soup doesn’t use all of those ingredients, it does use a few winter staples, some of which exhibit impressive antioxidant properties. In fact, three of the ingredients in this soup are excellent sources of beta-carotene!

Although we have a list of ingredients, you can take a little creative liberty with your root veggies. We don’t recommend using beets because they will turn your soup red quickly. The combination of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, and parsnips is quite tasty and the ingredients complement one another. If you want your soup to be more peppery, swap out the parsnips for some turnips. Just make sure that you always include red onion in the roasting pan, in addition to the onion you’ll sauté for the the soup base.

After the vegetables are nicely charred and fork tender, you’ll need to transfer them to a blender, along with your soup base. Now, if you have an immersion blender, you can pour the roasted vegetables into the large pot with your soup base and blend that way. Choose your own destiny, but make sure to savor the flavors along the way!

We hold a special place in our hearts for gazpacho. There’s something about the silky smooth texture and chilled, vibrant flavors that are very addicting. The cold, blended mixture seems to cool down your entire body on a hot summer evening. It fills you up and cools you off at the same time. What kind of sorcery is this? It’s raw vegan eating is what it is!

It may seem out of the ordinary to add cantaloupe to a gazpacho recipe, but cantaloupe pairs beautifully with savory flavors. In Italy, it is very common to wrap cantaloupe pieces in prosciutto. The inherent sweetness of the melon balances the salty nature of the cured ham. Plus, cantaloupe and cucumber, both of which are in this recipe, have high water content. That means that they contribute to your hydration efforts, which is especially important when the weather is hot. You have to replenish the water and electrolytes you lose, and this soup can aid that effort.

When it comes to toppings, there are various ingredients that you can use to enhance the already delicious flavor of the gazpacho. Herbs, lemon or lime zest, thinly sliced radishes, and finely diced chives are all excellent toppings. You can also hit the top of the gazpacho with a dash or two of cayenne pepper if you want to take it to another level. Just don’t go crazy with the spice! It’s summer after all, and we don’t want you sweating more than you already are.

The great thing about gazpacho is that it packs a flavorful punch and it is very easy to make. It’s a great summer appetizer or meal accompaniment, especially next to a large salad or zucchini noodle entree. You can also enjoy gazpacho even if you don’t follow a raw vegan diet. It’s a light entry point to a meal, providing you with lots of nutrients and flavors without filling you up.

Gazpacho is a cold soup or drink made from raw vegetables that you blend together. It originated in the souther regions of the Iberian peninsula, and it is a very common dish to eat in Spain and Portugal. People primarily enjoy this dish during the summer because it is refreshing and cool. Most gazpacho recipes include tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, water, and sea salt. This recipe has many of those ingredients, save for the bell peppers. It does bring more fresh herbs to the party, enhancing the depth of flavor.

This gazpacho calls for fresh cilantro, mint, and a little basil for topping. It also includes one jalapeño, which gives this raw soup a little fiery kick. If you are opposed to spicier flavors, use less of the jalapeño, or choose a more mild pepper like poblano. The acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes, however, do a good job to mellow the intensity of the jalapeño, so don’t worry too much!

When the weather warms up, you want to eat refreshing dishes that cool you off. Gazpacho is a classic, savory summer soup that originated in Spain. Served in a chilled dish, this soup is classically made with raw vegetables, especially tomatoes, bell peppers, and celery. For this recipe, we incorporate sweet mangos to balance the intensity from the raw onion, black pepper, citrusy orange, and herbaceous basil.

Mangos are not intensely sweet, but they do add a pleasant sweetness to a chilled soup. It is a tropical, refreshing fruit that you can easily enjoy fresh on a hot day, but you can easily incorporate them into savory dishes like this recipe. For example, there are many Thai soups or stew that incorporate mango because the sweetness balances the spicy chilies. This recipe, however, does not contain intense Thai spices, but you can add thinly sliced raw chilies as a topping, provided you want to light a fire on your taste buds!

This is a great make-ahead recipe, as you should chill it for a couple hours in the fridge prior to serving. If you want to store it in the fridge overnight and serve it the next day, that is also a possibility. Make sure that the storage container is airtight, so as to keep it as fresh as possible. When you decide to serve it, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on top of the soup. You can also top the soup with raw pumpkin seeds, chopped cilantro, and diced cucumbers for more texture.
