So Tay and I have been talking recently about doing a clean eating diet for the next few weeks. We have been exercising a ton, but don't feel like our diet is quite up to par. So we're thinking of doing this total overhaul to reset our metabolisms. It will not be easy, but we are excited for something new and challenging.
So tonight, for our healthy meal I made asparagus soup compliments of pinterest and blissfullydomestic.com. The ingredients were all whole foods that I boiled and then pureed in our blender. It was delicious!
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds asparagus
- 3 cups water
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
How-To
- In a large pot, sauté the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and black pepper in the olive oil until tender.
- Add in the water and bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
- In the meantime, chop the asparagus, disposing of the woody parts of it.
- Once boiling, add in the asparagus.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender.
- Pour the soup into a blender.
- Blend until creamy.
- Serve and enjoy!
We also added a little greek yogurt to the blender and mixed it together to make it a bit creamier.
Hope you try it and love it!
