Potassium Balance Broth

Here's another recipe from FMTV. I have revised it somewhat.  Firstly, I use an immersion blender rather than straining and using only the broth in order to get more fiber.  I also add some organic vegetable bouillon to get more depth of flavour.
Ingredients:
(​use organic ingredients where possible)​
  • 4 cups spring or filtered water​
  • 2 onions, finely diced
  • 1 leek, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 3 medium zucchinis, finely diced
  • 3 cups green beans, roughly chopped
  • 1 small bunch parsley with stems and leaves, roughly chopped
  • 3 tomatoes, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 inch ginger root, finely diced 
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 4 organic vegetable bouillon cubes
Method:
  1. ​Place all ingredients in a large stock pot
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, lower heat and then simmer very gently for 30 minutes, with lid on.
  3. Stain and use as a broth.  Alternatively, leave vegetables in, or blend with an immersion blender to create a thicker soup.
  4. Option:  I like to sprinkle nutritional yeast on top for extra flavour.
​Health Benefits:
  • ​The nutrients in this broth, such as potassium, magnesium and manganese, make it a good adrenal tonic for stress-related conditions and general fatigue.
  • We can't forget to mention ginger.  This nutritional powerhouse is both medicinal and aromatic.  Ginger fights against sickness, reduces inflammation and minimizes the spread of infection.
