10-Vegetable Soup (AIP/Paleo)

Need some variety in your veg intake? Make a batch of this versatile and customizable 10-Vegetable Soup (AIP/Paleo)!

Before I adopted an AIP/Paleo lifestyle, I invented a recipe for 10-vegetable soup. It was delicious, but it contained things that my body is sensitive to. (Nightshades and legumes, I’m looking at you. 👀 )

Flash forward many years. I’ve always remembered that soup. AND I tend to get in a vegetable rut. (Sweet potatoes, I’m bored of you. 😏 )

It was time to re-invent the soup.

Now, you know I love soup. It’s an easy way to get a lot of vegetables into us, it’s easy to freeze, and the clean-up is minimal. Also, bone broth. Amen.

SIDEBAR: Here are three of my favorite soups, if you’d like to take a looksee.

1. Creamy Lemon Chicken Soup
2. Italian Wedding Soup
3. Ugly Soup

Anyway…

Beef broth

This soup is best with homemade beef broth. We hear so much in our corner of the diet world about chicken broth, but I’m telling you – beef broth is beautiful! (If you’d like to know how to make it here is the recipe. You’ll also find a tutorial video there as well.)

Freezing Soup

My preferred way to freeze soup is in microwaveable glass containers. If you use glass jars, be sure to use ones that are straight up and down with no “shoulders,” like these Ball wide mouth pint jars. Since the metal tops and rings tend to get rusty with time, I use BPA-free plastic lids.

Customizing

If my list of vegetables has omitted your favorite, throw some in there! It’s your soup! If you can tolerate nightshades or legumes, you could add some tomato paste, some canned/drained tomatoes, and/or some beans. For those in the elimination phase of AIP, stick to the recipe, omitting the black pepper.

One last detail…

You can see in the photos some beef bits in there. I added these from the bones that I cooked. They are not necessary to the recipe. You can just use broth. I just try not to be wasteful in the kitchen, and use what I can.

I hope you enjoy this soup, and that it nourishes you on your healing journey.

As always, I’m wishing you great love and deep healing.

💗,

Wendi
