2 Soup Recipes for You! (GERD friendly)


Here are 2 Soup Recipes for You!

So I am linking up again with Kelly’s Korner. Here are a few of my favorite soup recipes. I was recently doing a Daniel Fast and these were two of the recipes I came across. They were so yummy that I now make these recipes all the time, especially the White Bean Chili one! 

Just a side note, I suffer from GERD and have a hard time eating onions, garlic, & tomatoes. Which makes it difficult to cook in the wintertime because a lot of yummy soups and recipes contain those things. These two recipes are delicious to me with leaving out the problem inducing ingredients! 

Sweet Potato & Black Bean soup. 
I know it sounds a little funny, but it is sooooo good! PS I don't puree the soup, too messy!

Ingredients:

8 cups Vegetable Broth (I Just use water) 
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 3 cups), peeled and diced
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion (I omit this)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Place all ingredients in a large stock pot. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Place half of soup in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth. (You may need to do this in two batches, because filling your processor or blender more than half full could cause the hot soup to pop the lid.) Return to stock pot, and cook 10 more minutes.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1 1/4 cups) 

My fave: White Bean Chili!
I have looked for a really long time for a white bean chili that didn't contain diary and finally found this one! For some reason the only soup I think should have diary is regular yummy white potato soup. In my book, chili doesn't have dairy. If you love it great, but for some reason the thought of it just grosses me out! 
Adjustments I made:
1.) I leave out the corn, bell peppers, jalapenos, shallots, & chili powder 
2.) I use one can of white northern beans, navy beans, & cannelloni beans. (I like the different shapes and shades of white.)
3.) I used 3/4 tsp of dried cilantro (Simply b/c it keeps longer than fresh.)
4.)  I didn't puree this recipe either
5.) I used extra lime b/c it is soooo good in the soup! I squeeze some right in my bowl right before I eat it ! 

Hope you enjoy and if you know any other GERD free recipes you want to send my way please do!
