Recipe: Garlic and Greens Soup (Video)

By Chris Baskind in Food

Your mom probably told you to eat your greens. With this quick, healthy, and satisfying dish, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau shows you just how easy that can be.

We’ve introduced you to Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and her recipes in the past. Colleen is a long-time vegan and animal activist.

She’s also the founder of Compassionate Cooks, a group Colleen describes as “empowering people to make informed food choices and to debunk the myths about vegetarianism and animal rights.” Her books, seminars, and DVDs focus on practical approaches to an ethical and balanced vegetarian diet.

Colleen has cooked up a terrific — and super easy — recipe for Garlic and Greens Soup. It’s great as an entree, or by itself, and is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. Here’s an opportunity to use whatever healthy greens are in season: a warm, healthy meal that lends itself to quick preparation and suit’s any family’s budget.

The video was produced as part of a contest at PBS television affiliate KTEH. The winner gets to host a December special — so if you like what you see, please hop over to the contest page and give Colleen a vote. She’s midway down the page. And be sure to enjoy all the other great recipes offered by the other contestants!
