Bunny Soup


This recipe is not for your bunny, although Kiah's love for her own bunny inspired this recipe. She found it in a childrens book, and slightly modified it to her tastebuds. While being under the weather, and unable to consume food that one can sink one's teeth into, Kiah found another soup recipe to add to our collection, that keeps, my mostly soup diet from getting stale! Thanks Kiah for this wonderful soup! Please note, she made this with her own two hands, learning how to handle a knife, with care and precision. Some instruction was offered, but this was totally HER work. Blessed is the Lord to give my daughter such a lovely heart to want to serve her mama soup so she might heal!


Bunny Soup


2 lbs carrots, washed, peeled, and shredded

56 oz Chicken Broth (with geletin)

3 stalks celery chopped

1 large onion chopped

1/4-1/3 cup butter

Sea Salt

freshly ground Pepper

Cayenne

Garlic

Parsley

Dill


Saute onion and celery in butter in a large covered pot till tender. Add carrots and sweat them. Add Chicken stock and geletin if needed. Bring to a boil to draw out the impurities. As impurities rise, skim off the scum. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1/2 hour. Add herbs, wait 5 minutes and puree. We used our hand held blender. You might not have this, and may need to put it thru your blender. We highly recommend getting a hand held blender. Puree till smooth. Add spices to your taste. Kiah gave hers a healthy dose of cayenne and garlic, a good amount of sea salt too. The natural sweetness of the carrots was there, but with a bit of a kick. Just like her bunny. This soup serves about 10.

It is really delicious!
