Thai green chicken soup

This soup is seriously good and a nice break from the regular appearances of pumpkin and cauliflower soup that tend to share the starring role in my kitchen. My mum (a non GAPS taste-tester I might add) had several soup-gasms whilst devouring this creamy bowl of yumminess.

Microwave-free Chocolate Mug Cake

This cake was a result of being in year 12, studying hard and getting to the end of the day and needing a big bowl of chocolate cake all to myself that I could chip away at whilst indulgently watching a few episodes 7th Heaven. Don’t even judge me!

Banana Mug or Pancakes

I’m just going get straight to the point. This batter is good. I mean really good. As in I-can’t-believe-it’s-just-banana-and-eggs good. I’m not even going to ramble and give you a cute little story as to the background of this recipe. Nope, let’s just get cooking!

My Favourite GAPS Muffins

my fave

For those of you that didn’t catch it, on Friday I was interviewed by my gorgeous friend Jo from Quirky Cooking on her Podcast ‘A Quirky Journey’. During the show I mentioned my GAPS muffins a few times and actually gave away the recipe. It’s virtually the same as this recipe but made in muffin tins. I use the ‘If You Care’ brand because they aren’t bleached, don’t contain any chemicals and are good for the environment. In SA, Foodland sells them, but I’m sure if you just do a trusty Google search, you’ll find somewhere to purchase them online such as organics on a budget.

Real Soup for Names Sake

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

I received feedback the other day from a reader saying that she got excited when she discovered this blog; assuming it was a website dedicated entirely to soup! She was disappointed when she realised that soup, -although having a starring role on this site – is not my sole focus. After all, a blog dedicated entirely to soup sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Maybe I should have thought of that.

I know I manage to weave bone broth and blended vegetable soups into nearly every post, making the name ‘real soup for the real soul’  deliciously appropriate, but it’s usually in relation to a bigger topic such as last-minute meal ideas or GAPS.

Today I’m honouring the name sake of this site with a post dedicated to the ultimate soul food; real soup!

The Creamy Green One

This is a spin off of my cauliflower soup recipe, omitting the fluffy white cauliflower florets for their humble cousin, the vibrantly green broccoli.

It’s a great way to get your greens in when it’s cold and your favorite salads and green smoothie recipes (despite their deliciousness) sound unappealingly chilly.

Enter Shrek soup (or if you don’t have kids; creamy broccoli soup)

The Most Amazing Pumpkin Soup in the World

This recipe is so easy it hardly deserves to be called a recipe.

For lack of better word however, I am still calling it a recipe.

There are zillions of pumpkin soup recipes out there calling for a whole host of different ingredients; coconut cream, garlic, ginger, almond milk, herbs and spices.

Quite frankly, I find all you need is a rich broth and some fresh butternut. The result is sweet, creamy and soul-warming.

GAPS bread take 2 (and it’s not a wrap)

Do excuse my weak attempt at humour in the title. Anyhoo.

A week or so ago I shared this bread recipe with you. I liked it, but knew that there was room for improvement.

Enter attempt number 2.
