When You Need a Hug… In A Bowl… Feel Good Soup! It’s been a heck of a week… oh wait, it’s only Tuesday.
Oh boy! Well, at least the tides are changing. Not to get into too many details, but Aunt Flo decided to run late this month, and I woke up Monday to a broken website. Proceeded by a very under the weather Sunday and a sleepless night. Feel Good Soup to the rescue! Despite the hot, hot, humid heat we’re experiencing here (Hawaii) my body is craving soup. It never does that. Seriously. But soup just sounds good for my lack of appetite and overall yuck feeling. This delicious low carb, high fat, paleo soup hit the spot, and it really does make you FEEL GOOD!

What’s In Feel Good Soup?
A handful of simple ingredients. I started out going for a cream of a mushroom route, which turned into a mixed veggie soup with a bone broth base, a hint of coconut cream, and an extra collagen boost. Love! Yup, the most important ingredient. When I feel like poo and I’m whipping something up to make me feel better I put a lot of healing intention in there. Like a hug in a bowl.

Step by Step Recipe Pictures
You want to start by heating a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add in the ghee and let it melt. Saute the mushrooms with garlic and herbs until browned.
Add in the vinegar to deglaze the pot, then pour in the bone broth and the coconut cream. It will be a delightful cream of mushroom at this point, but we’re not done. Mix in the cauliflower rice and spinach until tender.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, and collagen and let it simmer together for a bit. Then you’re ready to dig in. Feel better instantly with a bowl of Feel Good Soup! A favorite from my cookbook Made Whole.
