Healing Green Broth
Stephanie touts Healing Green Broth as a versatile, flavorful way of incorporating nutrients into one’s diet with easy preparation. It can be sipped solo or ladled into a bowl along with any assortment of delicious toppings and condiments, transforming leftovers into a delicious meal. Stephanie loves to layer sautéed or roasted vegetables like spinach, wild mushrooms or sweet potatoes with proteins such as sautéed shrimp, braised beef or a jammy egg with the broth. For a little extra fill, consider adding ramen or rice noodles or leftover rice. Finishing with sliced scallions, a squeeze of lime or a favorite condiment like chili crisp makes it over-the-top delicious with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rich broth or stock
- 1 cup watercress or arugula leaves
- 2 tablespoons each chopped tarragon chervil and chives (or other favorite fresh herbs)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon ghee or grass-fed butter
- 1 tablespoon collagen peptides optional
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat broth on stove top until just simmering.
- While broth heats, put remaining ingredients except salt in a Vitamix or other high-powered blender.
- Pour broth into the blender and (carefully, especially when working with hot liquids) blend aggressively on high speed until pale green, very smooth, and frothy like a cappuccino.
- Season to taste with salt and additional lemon juice. Serve immediately.
