Introduction

I just tossed everything in! Yummy. The radishes are surprisingly good when cooked, and lemon adds a little tang. I just tossed everything in! Yummy. The radishes are surprisingly good when cooked, and lemon adds a little tang.

Ingredients

    1 tbsp garlic, chopped
    1 tbsp raw sunflower seeds
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
    3 radishes, cut into chunks
    5 spears asparagus sliced into bite-size pieces
    a handful or two of fresh or frozen spinach
    2 tbsp flaxseed meal
    1/2 can Amy's organic black bean chili (or just canned black beans)
    1 cup low-sodium veggie broth
    1/2 c water
    1/2 lemon
    pepper and salt to taste

Directions

Sautee garlic and sunflower seeds in olive oil. Add half the broth, and the carrots, turn heat to low. While that's there, go chop your other veggies.
Veggies chopped? Ok, put in the rest of the broth and the 1/2 cup water. Throw in the radishes, asparagus, and spinach. Add the black bean (or the Amy's chili) and flaxseed meal.
Cut lemon into one or two wedges, remove seeds, squeeze juice into soup, and toss the rinds in too.

Cover and let the soup simmer on low heat for 35 or 40 minutes. When the carrots and radishes aren't crunchy anymore, your soup is ready to eat. Add salt and pepper to taste, if you wish.
