Quick Raw Food Recipe - Mushroom Soup, episode #634

[didiydi]

i believe it's delicious, but eating it with salad or crackers, you should have a stomach of a truck driver to digest those things together...

[doug209]

Yay for simple recipes! More!

[rawsammi]

Thank you for this super easy recipe! I just made this but with mac nuts and walnuts, a few bits of rosemary. It tasted exactly like clam chowder :D yumm

[Smileeen]

do you have to hold the lid on that particular blender jar?

[infowitch]

the 'bisque base' u made is part of phyo's 'creamy portabello bisque' recipe. it's found on p.117 of 'ani's raw food kitchen.' the bisque recipe is: 1 c. brazil nuts; 1 c. EVOO; 2 cloves garlic; 1 tsp. sea salt; 3 c. water.

What's do you call the bag you put the nut milk in?

[shyonesshy]

@cchloesparks it's a nut milk bag. you could also use cheese clothe, nylons (clean of course), or even a fine strainer. Personally I use a strainer. I found it for a dollar at a second hand store and it works beautifully :)

Does anyone who has the new 4" blade Blendtec find that it overheats very easily? Having trouble with mine; need to send it back to the supplier to be checked.

Hey Matt and Angela. Thank you for a very nice show. I get up in the morning and the first thing I do is see todays show. I´m not a rawfood eater . But you two are very lovely,sweet and funny, But too many soft hippie boys on the show. Lets see some raw bad boys!! -- Angela is very pretty, Love Wild vikingman- Denmark

[shalomshushan]

why is this called mushroom soup?

[infoats]

angela, learn to hold a spoon properly! its not a spade

[TheConqueress]

@infoats Angela, it's _your_ conduit for yummies from container to body, transport your mouthfuls as you see fit.

Even the ubber-chic Helen Gurley Brown (sp?) was quoted in an interview as saying she enjoyed her salads in NYC's swankiest fine dining establishments _with her fingers_ (no cutlery at all).

Thank you for peeks into your private domain; we're the guests on this "TV Show", not you two.

We can tune to scripted, staged productions anywhere; your uniqueness floats above the herds. <3

It was nice to hear about the weight, and see that Angela wasn't ashamed of that fact. I think what's nice is that you guys love life so much and that you also live and support your life in ways that grow and suit you. Inspiring. The recipe was inspiring as well!

[mariaperiwinkle]

Nice!! I never thought of making nut cream/milk into soup.

[triniwwee]

Lol Angela had that , 'Why r u bringing up my weight again?' look. I have that book. i'll look it up.

[sandpiper22]

Hey, I use the same ingredients in the FP to make parmesean cheese only no water, it is delicious. Note to Mr. Monarch: no girl likes to be reminded how much she used to weigh (possibly not even Angela!), perhaps it is the marketing guru in you that keeps bringing this up, I don't think you should anymore, Angela has come a long way since then, no need, ugh, I think you did that in when you brought it up on her wedding day. Perhaps coconuts have been falling on your head...?

[TheConqueress]

@sandpiper22 Are you saying you grind Brazil nuts and garlic for faux Parm? How many nuts & how many cloves of garlic, please :-D

Does this "work" with the wonderful zucchini "rawghetti?

So far, we just toss it with fresh basil & chopped peeled tomatoes + oregano & pressed garlic ~

Eager to hear back from you on this one!

This season's harvest, we plan to _try_ tossing the "rawghetti" with just cold-pressed raw organic olive oil & garlic, but your recipe might make a great "topping"! <3

[sandpiper22]

@TheConqueress I'm one of these people who don't really measure my ingredients, however, I make about two cups worth and keep it in a glass container in the fridge. I put in a bunch of brazil nuts, 2 or 3 garlic and salt to taste. The salt I use is A. Vogel's Herbamare Original (Aromatic sea salt with fresh organic herbs & vegetables. Add less of the garlic and salt then taste it and add more according to how much you need. Sundried tomatos optional for a pasta topping ;P

[TheConqueress]

@sandpiper22 Thank you for sharing <3 I'm with you in appreciating A. Vogel's Herbamare Original :-)

[swedengirl7]

I just made this - ITS SO GOOD!

[sefirkus01]

Mushrooms are not a plant they are a fungus and grown in very impure conditions - they just cause fungus in the body.

[myroadhome]

@sefirkus01 the "mushroom" soup recipe does not have any mushrooms in it

[TheConqueress]

@myroadhome It's the "mouth-feel" + balanced juxtapostioning of salty with creamy that "work" to make it a faux 'shroom soup with savory garlic adding a hint of robust "this isn't a snack/dessert".

Angela mentioned when plating it, mariated, or other 'shrooms _could_ be added for garnish / true 'shroom presence in the dish.

Add, some chopped & dried 'shrooms, soaked in olive oil & herbs, or, soak in the nut milk to rehydrate nicely & add "depth", or, just a drizzle of the oil for depth ~ <3

[MsEfish]

Angela and Matt - thank you for sharing again. Angela has beautiful hands and nails, how do you keep the nails strong? I am Vegan/Raw and my nails are paper thin and continuely bend and stay down in the "quick" as I struggle to find what is deficent in my diet. Any suggestions? Miss the wonderful horses today and certainly look forward to your "tv show" tomorrow!!!!!!

[swedengirl7]

@MsEfish msm daily, and horsetail/nettles tea (1 L every few days) helped my nails stop breaking.

[TheConqueress]

@MsEfish Garlic seems to help add strength to fingernails, but eventually turns them a shade of brownish yellow (?) ~

Massaging with the tiny flat tins of Burt's Bees cuticle balm is good, but olive oil, coconut oil, etc would "work", too ~

The wonders of organic tea tree oil (in dark bottles with droppers to avoid cross contaminating the oil) are endearing & enduring ~ I've been out for a bit and still they're "fine" ~ Must order _more_ :-)

These 3 "tips" should help you grow out your nails

[joyisaware]

Matt, you mean "Iridescent" goddess!

thanks 4 sharing, i missed you 2..

looking toothsomely scrumptious :)
