I love Minestrone Soup! This Minestrone Soup Recipe is delicious and is packed with a lot of veggies! To boost its health factor, it includes farro instead of pasta! Farro is amazing in soups, so you won’t even miss the pasta! This Minestrone Soup Recipe may take some time to make, but it is a perfect meal to make ahead. It is easy to reheat for lunches / dinners and freezes well. Another bonus is that you cook it all in one pot! No one wants to use and clean more than one pot!
This Instant Pot Broccoli Recipe is healthy, delicious and comforting! With the Instant Pot, this recipe comes together quickly for an easy weeknight meal. I think pearl couscous is fun to eat, and this Instant Pot Broccoli Recipe is loaded with nutrient packed broccoli, making it a healthy and fun eat!
It’s cold season, so we all need an Immune System Boost Recipe to either kick that cold’s ass or prevent a cold from kicking your ass! During the holiday season, we were not eating as much healthy eats as we normally would with all the holiday parties and holiday fun! So of course, both Jimmy and I caught colds! Starting this year off, and since cold season and winter will still be in effect for a few months, I wanted to create an Immune System Boost Recipe to Boost our immune systems and keep those colds away! I pretty much googled foods to either kick a cold or prevent a cold and put as many of them in a soup that I could. Big ones that kept on coming up in my search were red peppers, celery, carrots, garlic, ginger, broth, chick peas, dark leafy greens and citrus. This Immune System Boost Recipe has all these foods and turned out both delicious and comforting!

Over medium-high heat in Dutch oven or pot, with the olive oil, sauté celery, onions, and carrots for 10 minutes.
Turn down to medium and add garlic and ginger and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Add broth, salt, black pepper, turmeric, fennel seeds, cumin and chopped parsley.
Turn heat back up to medium high and simmer for 5 minutes uncovered, and then 5 more minutes covered.
Remove the lid, and add the rice, and stir and bring to a boil.
Turn heat down to medium-low, put the lid back on and simmer for 35-45 minutes (until rice is fully cooked).*
When rice is cooked, remove lid and add spinach, and cooked for a few more minutes until spinach is wilted.
*Cooking times may take a little longer, depending on your brand of rice.

This makes 2 big servings or 3 mid-sized servings. A little of the sauce goes a long way, so you will have extra sauce; you can save it for the weekend for chicken or steak teriyaki or use it as a dip for dumplings or other veggies. Or you can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat when you are ready to make this. If you like thinner sauce, you can add more water. If you do not like spicy, you can reduce or leave out siracha or add more if you love it!

This is one of those better than take-out vegetarian recipes! Jimmy will usually put soy sauce on any Asian dish and said that he didn’t need to put any soy sauce on this because it was perfectly flavored! We have been searching for a great take-out Chinese restaurant around where we live in Philly but haven’t been successful yet. This dish satisfies that Chinese take-out fried rice craving!
