Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsweetened soymilk (I use Silk)
3/4 cup frozen spinach, thawed and cooked
3/4 cup frozen peas
1 frozen strawberries
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch allspice
2 teaspoons flax seeds

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in a blender. Begin briefly on ice crusher mode to break up the strawberry and peas--I wouldn't go beyond 30-45 seconds.
  • After frozen items are broken up, add the spices. Feel free to experiment with whatever flavors strike your fancy.
  • Switch to pulse mode, and then alternate between pulse and blend until the drink is thick enough to suit.
  • When done, pour soup into a bowl and garnish with flax seeds(they can be sprinkled on top, or mixed in thoroughly for an added crunch).
  • The ingredient amounts are approximations, so feel free to add a little more of this or a little less of that if it seems necessary.
  • If you want a more substantial soup, want increase fiber intake, or accidently added too much liquid, try adding a tablespoon or two of ground flax seeds during the pulse & blend stage.

Cold, Spicy, Vegetable Soup (take a Look No Cook) image

This easy, summer, blender soup has a tex mex style. It's low calorie, healthy, and filling. The only fat comes from the yogurt. Has a spicy smoky flavor! Fat does help the body absord the nutrients. I you like you can drizzle the soup with olive oil or add a dollop of yogurt. I've made this with and without yogurt both are delish!
