cozy konjac root ”rice” & vegetable soup



creamy & comforting. nourishing & satisfying.

konjac is an herb that grows in parts of Asia. it’s a prebiotic root that is used to make a rich source of soluble dietary fiber. wonderful for gut health & digestion, & is thought to reduce allergic response and improve wound healing in the skin. it is mostly tasteless and very low calorie. a great food to add in for extra fiber and healthy carbohydrate metabolism.

in a large pot, add:
6 c organic grass fed bone broth
1 c sliced mushrooms (any kind or a variety! i used organic shiitake + white)
4 large carrots, sliced
1 bunch of organic asparagus, chopped
1 red onion, diced
1/4 c organic ghee or 2 T lard
1 can organic full fat coconut milk
1 t hing or 3 fresh minced garlic cloves
sea salt & black pepper to taste
3 T acv

-bring all ingredients to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until soft.

stir in:
2 bunches of dark leafy greens, washed, rolled up & cut into ribbons (i used dandelion + red kale)
3 c drained & rinsed konjac “rice” or any pre-cooked rice/grain of your choosing

-simmer until greens are wilted, taste for seasoning & adjust as needed. serve with fresh cilantro, pomegranate, & a toasted slice of my hearty sprouted seed bread.
