Curried Onion Soup for Winter Health

My first year, of a 3 year herbalism program here in New York City, is off to a great start. I am learning so much, and where I considered myself to have led a holistic life beforehand, my knowledge is so much deeper now. I am very excited about sharing relevant interest through Willy B Mum, moving forward. For this post, as we are deep into winter, I thought it might be nice to share this medicinal and delicious soup which is easy to make at home.

Today at Willy B Mum, I am creating, step-by-step, a delightfully healthy plant-based “stir”, perfect for lunch or dinner. As a canvas to build on and to have some fun with, I am using one of my favorite Non-GMO Della Rice varieties – Jasmine with Roasted Garlic.

A “stir”, is something that one creates by combining a protein, some veggies/fruit, and a sauce served on top a bed of Della rice. This is usually created with food you have on-hand in your home. So as long as you have a well stocked kitchen, the possibilities are boundless!
