This week’s alkaline recipe features another delicious soup, which is packed with different vegetables and will definitely keep you warm in these still pretty cold temperatures.
This pistou soup is mostly associated with the Provencal dish Soupe au Pistou or the minestrone al pesto from Italy. Traditionally pistou is made with parmesan cheese, which we will leave out, as it is acidifying.
The usual ingredients used are green beans, white beans, potatoes and tomatoes. This particular recipe contains these plus some other healthy and alkaline vegetables like courgettes, onions, celery and carrots, which are all packed with nutrients and are important for good health.

This sweet potato soup recipe has been created by the famous British chef Antony Worrall Thompson. Callum, one of the Energise directors, forwarded this recipe to me and it is truly delicious and healthy too.
As we are experiencing arctic temperatures in the UK at the moment, a soup is the perfect type of food to warm you up and provide you with all the nutrients your body needs. The main ingredient here are sweet potatoes, which are not strictly alkaline and should be eaten in moderation. They are however a root vegetable which are currently in season and are perfect for using in soups. Just make sure that they are fresh and do not have any fungal spots when you buy them.

This is a highly nutritious and alkalising fennel soup, which will warm you up in these freezing temperatures.
I particularly love soups in the winter months, as they fill me up nicely and warm me up from the inside when I am feeling cold. This recipe features one of my favourite vegetables – fennel.
Fennel has got a very distinctive taste and aromatic flavour which reminds me of anise or licorice. It is crunchy and slightly sweet and is widely used in Mediterranean cuisine. It is also one of these vegetables which is packed with nutrients and highly alkalising.

This warming and alkalising chickpea soup has got delicious arabic flavours given by spices like cumin and coriander.
Chickpeas are a very versatile type of pulse, which are used for a wide variety of dishes like stews. They are also highly nutritious and are a good source of protein, folate and zinc. They are also high in dietary fiber and low in fat.
I really like the smooth texture and oriental flavours in this alkalising chickpea soup, which are complemented by other ingredients like garlic, carrots, onions and celery.

This soup is made of jerusalem artichokes and carrots, which give it a smooth texture and a very earthy taste.
The jerusalem artichoke is one of the lessser known vegetables around, which is a shame as it has a unique nutty, sweet and crunchy taste and is a very good source of iron.
Did you know that the jerusalem artichoke is not truly an artichoke but a variety of sunflower and has nothing to do with Jerusalem, but is derived instead from the Italian word for sunflower, girasole?
