Potassium Power Soup

Potassium Power Soup

A nutritious recipe for a soup packed with potassium, fiber, and flavour. Great for fluid balance, muscle recovery, and heart health. Simple natural food makes healthy and nourishing meals.

🥣 Why This Soup Matters

This cozy, mineral-rich soup is designed to gently support fluid balance, circulation, and cellular health. It’s packed with potassium from sweet potatoes, white beans, and leafy greens — key players in helping the body pull water back into the cells and reduce puffiness or swelling.

The nutritional value of vegetables is natures best recipe to provide us natural B-vitamins, magnesium, and flavour — healing doesn’t have to taste like compromise.

Try it for:
✔️ Swollen ankles & sock-line indentations
✔️ Low energy & cramping
✔️ Post-sweat or stress mineral recovery
✔️ Everyday nourishment that loves your heart

Think of it as a rebalancing bowl of comfort — where every spoonful does something good inside.

I personally like to make a spice-infused oil to drizzle it on top of soups. If you like to do this then add these ingredients -> olive oil, turmeric and paprika powder, a bit of a healthy kind of salt (see ingredient list) to the smallest pan you have and prepare it separately. Otherwise just proceed as the instructions explain.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)

• • 1 tbsp ghee or avocado oil

• • optional, 1/2 tsp turmeric or smoked paprika powder

• • optional, 1-2 tsp nutritional yeast, stir in at the end of cooking (adds B-vitamins, including B1, heat-sensitive)

• • 1 small leek, sliced (or/and 1/2 onion)

• • 1 celery stalk, sliced

• • 1 clove garlic, pressed, cubed, sliced…doesn’t really make a difference

• • 1 cup white beans (cooked or canned, drained)

• • 1 medium sweet potato, diced (wash, keep the skin for more potassium)

• • 1 cup zucchini, diced

• • 4 cups of filtered water (or chicken/beef broth)

• • 1 -2 tsp Fresh Bouillon Paste (original version, green label)

• • optional, 2 cups, leafy greens, such as spinach or Swiss chard (I have made this soup without greens and it is still a tasty soup)

• • 4 tbsp olive oil, to drizzle on the soup when serving

• • salt and pepper to taste, good salt options Redmond, Celtic, or New Earth Organics, or Canadian Sea Salt

Instructions

• • If you would like to use turmeric or paprika powder in this recipe start with heating the ghee/avocado oil to low-medium heat and stir in turmeric and paprika. Allow them to bloom — a moment that not only enhances their taste but also supports better absorption of their active compounds. This step can be done in a separate little pan to make a spiced oil for later.

• • Add and sauté garlic/leek/onion and celery until softened.

• • Add sweet potato, zucchini, beans, and water/meat broth.

• • Simmer for 15-20 minutes until veggies have your preferred softness.

• • Stir in bouillon paste and greens at the end and let wilt for 1-2 minutes.

• • Optional, blend half the soup for a creamier texture. This is totally up to preference. I like to puree about 2/3 of the soup.

• • Taste and adjust with sea salt if needed (but potassium is already doing the heavy lifting).

• • Drizzle with the spice-infused oil

• • optional, serve with a slice of garlic bread
