DR. FUHRMAN'S FAMOUS ANTI-CANCER SOUP - UPDATED



Dr. Fuhrman's Famous Anti-Cancer Soup - Updated image

Based on a recipe from Dr. Joel Fuhrman's nutritarian handbook, Eat Right America. This is the updated version of another one posted on food.com; I like this one better because it includes kale as well as adjustments to the other ingredients. Dr. Fuhrman says, "Juice carrots and celery in a juice extractor. Fresh juiced organic carrots are necessary to maximize the flavor of this soup". I use both my Jack Lalanne juicer for the carrots and celery and my blender. The recipe says you can use a combo of peas/beans although I stick with the split peas because I love them so much. Since the resulting soup is not "pretty", I garnished with a dollop of fat free plain yogurt and chopped parsley.

"Making this soup involves more time & effort than the other recipes, so you might want to make a huge amount and save it in the refrigerator for the whole week. It tastes so good that a patient of mine who owns a fine restaurant offers it on his menu."-From Dr. Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup dried split peas or 1 cup dried beans
4 onions
10 zucchini
3 stalks leeks
5 lbs carrots
2 bunches celery
1 cup raw cashews
2 tablespoons low-sodium vegetable bouillon granules (or Vege Base by Vogue)

Steps:

  • Take the outer skins off the onions and place them in the covered pot. Do not cut them up, put them in whole.
  • Add the zucchini, uncut.
  • Cut the bottom roots off the leeks and slice them up the side so each leaf can be thoroughly washed. Throw away the last inch at the green top. Then place the entire leek (leaves uncut) into the pot.
  • Juice the carrots and celery in a juice extractor. Add the juice to the pot.
  • While the soup is simmering, chop up the muchrooms (if desired).
  • By the time you get to this stage, the zucchini, leeks and onions should be soft.
  • Ladle some of the liquid from the pot into a Vita-mix. Use tongs to remove the soft onions, zucchini, and leeks.
  • Be careful to leave the beans in the bottom of the pot.
  • In a few separate batches, completely blend together the onions, zucchini, and leeks.
  • Add more soup liquid and the cashews to the mixture, and blend inches Return the blended, creamy mix back to the pot. Add the TVP and the mushrroms, if desired. Simmer another 20 minutes.
