It’s that time again: soup time!⁠
⁠
If you’re like me, you crave soup when the weather is cooler.⁠
⁠
This week I have some tips for making simple soups throughout the fall and winter:⁠
⁠
🌟Don’t feel you need to have vegetable or chicken broth on hand (I'm actually not a fan of store-bought broths and rarely use them). Water will do! ⁠
⁠
Water takes on the flavours of the vegetables (and chicken if you use it) to make a flavourful soup. ⁠
⁠
You’ll likely need to add more salt, however; I find 1-2 tsp adds the right amount of saltiness.⁠
⁠
🌟It’s easy to add chicken to this soup. Just drop in a couple of boneless chicken thighs or small chicken breasts into the water and let it ‘poach’ for at least 20 minutes. ⁠
⁠
After 20 minutes, pull out the chicken, shred with two forks and add back into the pot for another 5-10 minutes. Delish!⁠
⁠
🌟Add dried herbs to the pot with the onions and carrots and fresh herbs once the soup is almost done. This allows for full flavour.⁠
⁠
I have the full recipe for this veggie soup on my blog. Get it here ➡️ https://lealoucooks.com/simplevegetablesoup/⁠

Friends! ⁠
⁠
In addition to hosting my regular cooking classes, I'm hosting a fundraising cooking class for The Big Social (#bigsocial)!⁠
⁠
We'll be making a delicious Sunday Brunch on October 17 at 11 a.m.⁠
⁠
More than ever, we need to provide access to nourishing food to those who need it most and the Big Social was created to help us do that. ⁠
⁠
**Food insecurity now affects 1 in 7 Canadians. That is the true pandemic of the modern day.**⁠
⁠
When people can’t afford good food, the problems stack up. Poor nutrition, isolation, and declining physical and mental health take a huge toll on people's lives.⁠
⁠
Join me on October 17 to cook up a scrumptious brunch and to raise funds for The Big Social. ⁠
⁠

Life right now is so bizarre. ⁠
⁠
One day we're on top of the world. Things are going so well and we feel great.⁠
⁠
The next day is horrendous. Our emotions are all over the place and we wonder how we'll make it through the day.⁠
⁠
Until we wake up and it's fine once again.⁠
⁠
What has consistently helped me to feel better when things feel rocky... is nature.⁠
⁠
Nature is here to help us and to lead us on an honorable path. It helps us to calm our nerves and get grounded.⁠
⁠
It provides us medicine and nourishment.⁠
⁠
It helps us to stay sane.⁠
⁠
Sure technology has given us so much, but in my opinion, it has also blinded us from the beauty that nature is providing us every day. ⁠
⁠
We're so caught up in our computers, phones, and external opinions that we don't make the time to sit and really focus on our surroundings.⁠
⁠
Heck, I took out my phone while walking in nature to take this photo instead of really enjoying the moment.⁠
⁠
Let's not give up on nature. ⁠
⁠
It's stronger and more capable of providing us with what we need than you might think (my thoughts immediately go to those darn 'weeds' that grow through concrete).⁠
⁠
My challenge to you is this: go for a walk this week and leave your phone behind. ⁠
⁠
Look at the sky. ⁠
Touch a tree. ⁠
Listen to the birds.⁠
Feel the sun.⁠
⁠
Be with nature and let nature be with you.⁠
