Calypso’s Into Earth Witch Soup

Once upon a time I read the first of Christine Feehan’s Carpathian novels (I have yet to res the rest…library soon??) ~ anywho ~ this soup reminded me of that book. The carpathian vamps return to the Earth (beneath the soil) every so often to heal, recharge, and gather power. I was rather sick all week, so I concocted a soup plan haha. It turned out well! *Can easily be made vegan using veggie broth.*

Ingredients: 5 or 6 organic carrots One Vidalia onion (could def add shallots!) Half head of purple cabbage 6 or 7 red potatoes, halved 13 medium cloves of garlic, chopped (those on the smaller side can go in whole) 2 fingers of ginger, peeled and finely chopped Handful fresh oregano Handful fresh sage 13ish large white (portabella) mushrooms, halved 2.5 TBSP beef bouillon Red pepper flakes, salt, Rosemary to taste Large soup pot filled halfway with water

To Make: Fill soup pot halfway with water, turn burner to high. Add garlic and ginger as soon as water starts simmering…after 5-10 minutes add fresh herbs Wait a few minutes before adding onions and bouillon - wait for broth to come to boil Add your peeled and chopped carrots Stir, taste, adjust Add mushrooms Add cabbage Cover, turn burner to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes.

***I suggest adding shallots, morels, merlot, and potatoes for a more bodied soup. In addition, onions & garlic could be browned in butter prior to making soup. Bone broth would be IDEAL.***
