Grab another helping of this umami – packed standout of a soup! We’ve got extra servings for you to defrost and enjoy anytime.
A beautiful bounty of mushrooms provide the basis for this soup that’s as nutrient dense as it is flavorful. We’ll start by making a rich veggie broth flavored with pink peppercorn and kombu to highlight the best variety of organic and local mushrooms from Happy Dirt. With richness from the cauliflower and GC-made cashew cream, paired with the incredible umami of NC made Great Eastern Sun miso, this soup is sure to satisfy on every level. We’re finishing it off with a handful of green onion and toasted sesame seeds, but we think it would be great topped with a little coconut yogurt for extra probiotic goodness. Warm up gently and enjoy alongside any of this week’s other dishes.

This new, nourishing soup was a hit! Get another serving of this spring-green goodness before they’re all gone.
Do some spring cleaning for your body in the most delicious way with our new creamy greens soup. It features local green kale from Happy Dirt blended with organic fennel, apple, spinach, leek, ginger, and a touch of cauliflower for creaminess with a drizzle of lemon cashew cream to top it off. We hit the perfect balance of flavors with the tartness of the apple, sweetness of the fennel, hint of spiciness from the ginger, all underneath the bright green vibrance of the kale, with a pinch of allspice to round it out. Enjoy warmed up slightly or sip on cold and enjoy.

There is nothing quite like the feeling you get from drinking this mineral-rich herbal infusion. Alfalfa has been cultivated for livestock since the Greek and Roman era and it’s widely used as a cover crop to help replenish the soil. It turns out human bodies benefit from the plentiful vitamins and minerals in alfalfa, too. It’s also known for alkalizing the body and cleansing the blood, so it’s very supportive for healthy liver function. Nettles, simply put, are magical weeds. They’re abundant in chlorophyll, anti-inflammatory, cleansing, and rich in iron. Oatstraw is known as a nervous system replenisher. It tastes grassy and fresh. Spearmint is a digestion aid that’s also high in antioxidants and helps balance hormones. It also adds a little sweetness and enhances all the refreshing green vitality this tea has to offer. Enjoy warm or chilled.

Just defrost, stir, add a touch of water or lemon to thin and drizzle on anything! There’s so much flavor and nutrition packed in each container.
Tahini is loved throughout the world. It’s an ancient food that’s been cultivated in India since 5000 BC. It’s pretty miraculous that tiny sesame seeds have so much nutritional power and that when blended alone, create a rich and potent paste known as ‘tahini’. This version of our tahini sauce will be light and tangy with local oregano and parsley. We’ll soak fresh garlic in lemon juice before straining it out to hit a perfectly low key garlicky note. Drizzle it on the za’atar chicken, any cooked vegetable, or even use as a dressing for salad – it will add a nutritious glow to every bite. Give it a stir before serving and add water or oil to thin as desired.

Did you miss this dal last week? We’ve got you covered! Simply defrost and reheat on the stovetop for a quick and nourishing meal.
This flavorful, aromatic and wholesome red lentil dal has it all. Any soup made from a pulse (lentil, bean, or split pea) is called a ‘dal’ in India. They’re a great source of plant nutrition filled with protein, fiber and minerals. With the creaminess of full-fat coconut milk and the rich complexity of the spice blend, this dal satisfies on every level. We’re adding local sweet potato from Happy Dirt and tender Red Russian kale from Faithfull Farms for extra nourishment. A tiny kick from lemon juice and fresh ginger root lends an uplifting note. Reheat on the stovetop and serve alongside the aloo gobi or eat it solo with warm naan bread, as our kids like to do.

The first thing to note about this delicious concoction is that it’s caffeinated, but due to the many unique properties of matcha, you’ll feel a calm alertness without the jittery effects you get from coffee or tea. Matcha is a Japanese shade-grown green tea powder that’s loaded with powerful antioxidants, called polyphenols, and many other bioactive compounds with various health benefits, such as improved cognitive function, collagen production and reduced stress. Because matcha green tea plants are grown in the shade, the leaves are very rich in chlorophyll, which naturally supports the detoxification pathways in the body. Matcha even has the reputation of aiding Zen monks in meditation. We’ll balance out the earthy flavor of the matcha with warming spices and cashew milk to create this spectacular beverage for your morning ritual. Warm it up on the stovetop, stirring, or simply shake it up and drink cold. (Hot tip: You could add it to a blender and whizz it up with half a banana to create an even more creamy and sustaining morning affair. This is Lizzie’s new morning obsession.) **We’re upgrading our matcha moving forward to Jade Leaf’s ceremonial grade Teahouse Edition for a more vibrant beverage with a sweeter note and even more nutrition. They work directly with a grower’s collective in Kyoto to offer their premium quality matcha.

This soup satisfies on so many levels. The comforting textures of the vegetables with the bold flavors of the aromatics and richness of the coconut milk are pure perfection. Also, it’s packed with produce – organic cauliflower, local green cabbage and butternut squash – all from Happy Dirt. We’ll simmer the veg in a coconut broth with lemongrass, ginger, tomatoes, and local cilantro from Red’s Quality Acre – then finish with an uplifting touch of lime. The flavor is simply amazing. This is the last time we’ll make this soup until next season, so don’t miss out! Reheat in a saucepan and serve with extra lime and cilantro if desired.

This comforting classic is making a final appearance before the temps outside overwhelm our love of this soup. As always, it will star our GC-made stock featuring chicken bones from Dawnbreaker Farms in Hurdle Mills – where they pasture raise their birds with great care using environmentally regenerative practices. We’ll slow simmer the bones overnight with black peppercorn, bay leaf, coriander seed, garlic cloves, ginger, and turmeric to create a flavorful stock that’s rich in collagen, vitamins, minerals and amino acids that support gut function, brain health and immunity. Together with chicken, noodles, carrots and a splash of organic scallion – this soup is sure to be a hot commodity. Get it while it lasts and reheat gently on the stovetop until warm.
