Here&#8217;s how the magic happens:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1)<\/strong> Make your broth. We buy beef bones ($2.00) from Tara Firma farms and boil them for one hour for a calcium-infused beefy flavored base. You can also use boxed broths, bouillon, or no broth at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/4009882146_abd63eaa0f.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-412\" title=\"4009882146_abd63eaa0f\" src=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/4009882146_abd63eaa0f.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2)<\/strong> Remove beef bones.\u00a0Sloppy chop one onion. Throw in some whole garlic cloves. So the base is always broth, onion, and garlic&#8211;celery if I have any on hand.

My weekly ones lately are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a whole head of red cabbage, tomatoes, and beets for a crimson bowl of goodness.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Sweet potato, pumpkin, and a whole bag of carrots&#8211;a lovely orange hue packed with beta carotene.<\/li>\n<li>Three kinds of mushrooms, leeks, and a couple tiny red potatoes.

Using a hand blender (it takes less than two minutes to puree and rinse the blade), puree your soup to smooth, creamy perfection without adding a drop of butter, cream, or milk. Adjust the seasonings&#8211;salt, pepper, cayenne, fresh herbs, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/watercress-soup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-414\" title=\"watercress-soup\" src=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/watercress-soup.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5)<\/strong> Drink your vegetables!
