✨ Making delicious soup that’s good for your kidneys is easy!

Here’s a simple guide to help you get started.

1️⃣ Sauté Aromatics: Sauté onions, carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, shallots, leeks, lemongrass, fennel, or bell peppers in olive oil or avocado oil.

2️⃣Add Seasoning: Use dried herbs like thyme, oregano, or basil. Try spices or blends such as paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, five-spice, curry powder, Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or any no-salt mix you like.

3️⃣ Add Hearty Veggies: Include cauliflower, sweet potatoes, cabbage, mushrooms, butternut squash, potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.

4️⃣ Add Stock: Choose unsalted or low-sodium stock if possible..

5️⃣ Simmer: Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the veggies are soft and the flavors are combined.

6️⃣ Add Quick-Cook Items: In the last few minutes of cooking, add any quick-cooking ingredients or pre-cooked items that just need to be heated through. This includes soft or leafy vegetables, beans, tofu, or cooked grains.

7️⃣ Add Toppings: Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, grated cheese, croutons, a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar.

*If you are using uncooked pasta, lentils, or quinoa, add them during the simmering step for the right cooking time according to package directions.

✨ Remember, everyone’s nutrition needs are different, so it's important that you find meals that fit your kidney-friendly eating plan.

Over 35 million Americans live with kidney disease, but Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native communities face the highest risks and the worst outcomes.

Through the Pay It Forward Accelerator program, I’m working to change that. We’ll train trusted navigators to bring culturally relevant kidney health education where it’s needed most.
