Good luck with your surgery! Healing and light and love sent your way!

Hi Vivi, YES!!!! another new soup for me to try never would of thought to put those veggies together but it looked yummy so i will give it a try one day next week. Love how you explain the vitamins and benefits of the ingredients while you are making the food. I know we all cook for the taste but it's nice to know all the health benefits as well. Thanks for the intro to leeks never had them before till you used them in a soup and they are lovely it's a shame that i went 48 years before i tried my first one. My daughter asked if i was going to go back and write your recipes on index cards so they are at hand when i make them. I said nope i will watch them on utube and give Vivi some more viewed time. I was told the more they are watched that it helps the channel not sure if it's true but never hurts to try. Thanks for sharing Vivi. : )

My tummy was rumbling watching this, so I had toast and honey to tide me over till lunch lol. Great idea cardomum will defo try this, thank you Vivi, x

Cardamom has amazing health benefits also, that’s a real health soup , can’t wait to try it

hi Vivi !! you can't beat a big bowl of homemade soup and a chunk of chunky bread !! thanks you for sharing

As another vegetarian, it was life altering when I discovered my iron deficinecy was, technically, a vitamin C problem. I usually turn to cauliflower if I feel that once-a-month low energy coming on, but this looks delish. Putting fennels in my borscht (a la a video you did with Sean?) proved a huge hit. This should go down a treat here too.

Lol Vivi, I was just getting to bed! Have a wonderful day, and good luck with your operation. Lovely soup!😉

Sounds so yummy. My fave vegs are Broccoli and spinach, the two together, super yum. Thanks for sharing.

I'm only at the ingredients part and it sounds so yummy. Nutmeg and cardamom! Slurp!! I love cardamom! The geekery of the vitamins is my passion too. Interesting that vitamin K will help with calcium. COOL!

Vivi your soup looks soooo delish and healthy. It tis that time of year for soups and stews. Really I can eat them year around. It's really good on nice cold day! ✌🏼️❤️& Soups🍵

LOL, an Indian coworker once gave me a bag of cardamom pods. I'd never cooked with them before, so when a recipe for curry powder called for ground cardamom, I ground them up pods and all! Oh well it seemed fine in the recipe, but thanks for the lesson on how to use them:-). And I've never seen a green carrot before ;-)

Yum yum swamp creature soup😋 I must try making that, would never thought of adding cardom and nutmeg to leafy greens. I wish I could smell the aromas while you are cooking.

lovely video again well done

That looks sooooo good. I never thought of putting those 2 veggies together. I’m going to have to try that.

Yummy! Another new soup to try! Yay!

I love your cooking video's, they inspire me! It's almost December and I haven't made any soup yet, next grocery shopping trip, I'm getting the ingredients for a couple different soup recipes.

Cardamom is amazing .... and... if you have eaten garlic and it is still 'lingering' the following morning , sucking a cardamom pod counteracts the smell.... and it really works! ( was told that by an Indian Doctor years ago...) Also nice for adding flavour to custard.... all looks yum...

I love your soups Vivi. I will do this for my husband and I tonight. 🤩

This is SO timely for me. I believe I am suffering from anemia. UGH! Shortness of breath on doing anything...exhaustion...all the fun thing. lol Thanks so much for sharing! God bless!

What a fantastic and easy looking soup! And low carb, to boot! I am adding this to my list of things to try this summer when my produce starts coming in :)

Thank you...another great tutorial & recipe, will be trying this one soon. Ann X

I made this last night with a slight modification replacing celery for the root. OMG…divine!!!

Thank you thank you thank you Vivi! I have just found out that my iron level is extremely low, so this recipe will be a winter staple 😀

Made this today, substituting celery stem and leaves for the root. Delicious!!!

I love cardamom but I've always used it in sweet things like hot chocolate, coffee, rice pudding , ice cream etc

Love all the green veg. I use a teaspoon of miso in most soups.

Looks delicious Vivi. I always learn a little with your soup videos. What are your cooking essentials? I notice you have some great kitchenware.

Fantastic - that’s lunch sorted! Thanks so much 😊

That looks so yummyxx

Love the "nerdy" bit as you call it. I also cook from sight and dont weigh. Onions are good for bone health.

Thank you Vivi I will sure try this one to . Happy Thanksgiving !

Looks lovely

I love all the knowledge you share in your cooking videos and the enthusiasm ....

Sounds yummy Vivi

Looks scrumptious Vivi - I've never used cardamon before, will have to try it. All the very best wishes for your imminent surgery, it's not something that anyone looks forward to, but should make a huge difference. Take care x

Cardamom is the BEST! And nutmeg too 💚🧡❤️ also, I totally get the nerdy knowledge stuff, I am the same way. Knowledge is power!

Vivi, another recipe to add to my homestead recipes page on my most humble blog. I must try the new spice cardamon. This is the day we call Thanksgiving here in the states. It's a special day of feasting over many hours until we fall into a tryptophan turkey induced coma. I'm not one to encourage over eating but once or twice a year, I allow the restrictions to come off and indulge freely. in good food, good conversations, and excellent snoring. Be well my KZfaq friend and keep those recipes coming. Nebraska Dave

Morning my friend .. 😃 I learn so much watching your video's... 💘 I make a lot of soup Fall , Winter and spring 😋 yummy 😋 💙 I shared on my Facebook 💜 Thanks 💐 💘 God Bless 💘

Looks like a lovely soup. Never tried cardamom in soup only in rice with a curry. Take care. Nick

I bet the freshly crushed spice makes all the difference. I never ever thought to put broccoli and spinach together. Thank you.

Love cardamom and nutmeg - fabulous recipe Vivi. Thank you once again : ) Love your jugs .... heck I just looked up it's slang meaning I thought it was "ears" : ( Anyway I love your pottery jugs I love the shape the patterns everything...maybe I have a bit of a fetish going on here but I just love jugs : ) Take care. Angela X

Vivi I made this tonight but I completely forgotten about the spices !!!! I am anaemic and will make it again and again. p.s. I like your dress.

Vivi, that soup looks delish! I will tty that! I have never tried cardamom! Looking forward to getting some. Have you tried getting a nutmeg and grating it fresh? The smell and depth of flavor is wonderful. 😊 I would really like to see your broccoli soup with stilton! I love cheese! Gave a great day Vivi! Thank you so much for the wonderful, nutritious recipes!

Re:cardamom. I put the pods in the mortar and bash. Remove the husks and grind it down.

I am so wishing I had a bowl right now, even though it's too late for me to eat. Time for bed.

Just grabbed all my broccoli heads and boiling now for "cream" of broccoli soup, hate the way it makes the house stinky though, lol.Not great for a hot summer day, but am going to freeze it in smaller portions in freezer, as cabbage moth arrived and I don't want to loose it all. lol.

Nice vlog 🎄❤️Popeyes's soup vit c 💕olive oil ☃️❄️good luck op 🌹

I grow a lot of spinace and broccoli in my garden and often I mix them together in soup. I must try cardamon next time, thats for sure. Kale is also a veg I mix in green soup.

Hi Vivi this reminds me of when I recreated the large lawn in my garden, after pulling loads of brambles and dealing with the rabbit burrows I had a spirit level getting the area flat as I possibly could to regrow the lawn from seed. It must have been very hard for you with your knee problem.

Looks like soylent green

soooo yummy am flagging this for later! :-)

Nutritionfacts.org on youtube, or their website, is my favourite resource for nutrition/science nerdiness. I could spend hours watching the videos! On there you can find the research about the protein combining myth that I mentioned to you a while ago. I so enjoy watching you express your love of plants as you are cooking, I relate to that so much!

pure torture!! but wonderful! I am putting cardamon on my grocery list. Vivi, I hope you're doing well!

Hi vivi Hope you are ok Just watched this video for Brocolli soup You can also use the stalks for soup I do I never waste a morsel Take care xx

Vivi I’m surprised you don’t grate your own nutmeg also!

Nice top 😉

are the cardamom pods moist inside? I love using fresh vs pre ground but usually don't. I love using fresh vanilla beans over vanilla extract when I was baking. mm mm . ohhh the shout out! I'm so making this one this coming week!! You would NOT have sold me on the idea of that soup despite my loving spinach and cooked broccoli but adding the cardamom and nutmeg. mm mmm. I will put it into my carb counter and report back on it's nutrition facts. lol Curious as to how much protein also and if it'll work as a snack as a cup of soup. This diet I'm on is so low in carb and high in protein that it's hard to use veggies in volume at all but I think this in a cup, mm mm.I also needed some ideas for post surgery creamy soups. OH I can also add unflavored protein powder also (not so delicious but I found one that has been said to be non offensive as an unflavored so I'm going to try adding that. but first I'll try it as your recipe completely yours. lol. THANKS for the soup ideas. Your soups are always delicious! It's a good thing you got that freezer!

Lovely recipe, thank you. Can I just ask what variety of spinach is it please?

Can you mail me a bowl of that to Canada? ;) I hope your surgery isn't postponed!!!

hello vivi do you have cardamom on your plot ? i might try and grow some next year if i don't loose my note book i cant weight to have a go at this soup thank you for the inspiration

Looks delicious Set the table and I will be over You take care also

odd looking carrot,(4:25) ;-)

Some bacon lardons would just finish that off
