raw soup recipes
I am a year-round soup fan. I enjoy hearty soups like my Curried Cream of Carrot Soup, with warm flavors that take the chill off a winter’s night. But I also love the flavors of lighter, spring and summer soups that are cool and refreshing like the soup I want to tell you about today: my Garden Vegetable Soup.
It’s a raw food soup I think you’ll love.

Another important aspect of raw food is that many fruits and vegetables are filled with simple, pure water...and that’s something your body may not be getting enough of during the winter months.
Foods that have a lot of water in them are also great for those of us who are ‘big eaters.’
I frequently enjoy eating light, but there are times when I’m really hungry and a small portion won’t be enough to satisfy my appetite. That’s when I turn to water-rich foods. They let me eat bigger portions, without eating lots of extra calories.

The food and drinks we enjoy at holiday time have a nasty way of staying with us long after the holidays are over. One of the most annoying carryovers is water weight. It makes you feel bloated and puffy and sluggish. Interestingly, one way to lose water weight is to drink more water. It takes 6 to 8 eight-ounce glasses of fluid per day to flush whatever it is in your system that is making you retain water.
Another way to introduce more water into your system is with the food you eat. Raw foods can help you lose that water weight naturally. Celery in particular can be helpful. It’s rich in potassium and sodium, which is essential to maintain your body’s fluid balance. And celery stimulates urine production, causing the elimination of fluid from the body.

When you think of a papaya, do you think of an exotic faraway island like Tahiti? Well, in truth, papaya is a native of Hawaii where rich volcanic soil, sun-kissed days, and cool nights provide the perfect growing conditions for this beautifully colorful fruit.
Papayas aren’t just pretty, they’re pretty good for you, too. Papayas deliver six key nutrients: vitamin C, folate, potassium, iron, calcium, and fiber, plus carotenoids. And you can use Hawaiian papayas to make a distinctively all-American breakfast pudding that is fat-free, yet creamy and nutritionally satisfying.
