Squash, Swede and Watercress Soup

March 29, 2015 By Hana Leave a Comment

Squash and Watercress Soup

Originally I wanted to keep Nirvana Cakery all about wholefood baking. I can see already that it might be a bit tricky. Although a very new blog, it has already been evolving and taking me in new directions and I have no choice but to let it evolve where it has to. The whole purpose of this blog is to inspire you and myself to think about food in a new ways and let the food and our connection to food be our medicine. So let it be and let it flow.

The recipe I would love to share with you today is a very simple and easy butternut squash, swede and watercress soup. With only 3 main ingredients, a meal can’t get much easier than this. I am a big fan of soups and I make a large pot of thick vegetable soup pretty much twice a week. Soup is a great way to provide your body with nutrition as warm blended vegetables are easily absorbed by your body. Soups are very filling and satisfying and most of all pretty easy to cook. Great for kids to get all those veggies down easily, even if they complain a little!

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨

Sending much love Hxx 🕊
