This will save you tons of time & $$ in the kitchen...
The Cleaner.
This soup was inspired by none other than Mr. Wolfe. No, not David "avocado" Wolfe... I'm talking Winston "the wolf" Wolfe - the 'cleaner' in Pulp Fiction. This soup is not only fast, efficient, and no-nonsense - it also saves your confused and tired butt from a rotting mess in record time. I know because it saves mine! Yes - sometimes I have a pile of "I'm-about-to-stank-up-your-fridge" veggies staring me down at times when I'm just too frikin' tired to cook up a meal. You gotta make it EASY for yourself. Now while this soup is a cinch to make, it's also highly experimental.
Needless to say, this soup is not for the faint of heart.
Make this soup if...
✓ you want to down more veggies than you have the entire week in one sitting
✓ you want to be high as a kite on nutrients
✓ you have 5+ different veggies that are about to go bad and you need to do something STAT to save yourself from... yourself (aka kicking your own ass because you spent all this $ on delicious organic veggies only to watch them rot and stink up your fridge).
✓ you don’t have time to make a fancy schmancy meal
✓ you’re feeling lazy
Now, when making this soup you want to be sure that you are following the Golden Rule of cooking: salt + acid + fat + sweet = mm mmm good.
It’s that simple.
Step one.
Throw every damn piece of green veggie you got stashed in the fridge into a high powered blender with enough water to make it a good consistency.
Step two.
Add garlic, onion, shallots or anything else that’ll flavor that bad boy up.
Step three.
Add your fat - I prefer avocado, ghee, nut butter, coconut oil/milk, or a good oil. For this soup, I used what I had available - tahini.
Step four.
Add your salty - this one’s easy. In this guy, I used himalayan sea salt and miso (*bonus - miso is awesome in soups, giving a nice rounded flavor and a dash of 'je ne sais quoi', ya feelin’ me?)
Step five.
Add your acid - I threw in some lemon and coconut vinegar (yes, that exists and it’s da bomb).
Step six.
Add your sweet. Now this one can be a bit tricky, since you’re most likely going for savory - the miso adds a bit of sweetness here, as do the onions and some other veggies/fruit you might use.
Step seven.
Blend on HIGH and drink out of a mug.
Everything is 'to taste' here. And that’s it. Finito.
How do you like ‘dem apples, Soup Nazi??
I know what you’re thinking. “That is so gangsta.” You can be gangsta too. Just follow these simple steps above and you’ll be fine. And remember, this is YOUR masterpiece - experiment! In the words of the great Bob Ross:
Happy cleaning gangstas.
