A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Food is healing, and one thing during this COVID 19 crisis is that we need to ramp up our immune system. And one way of doing this is through eating natural, whole (and organic) foods. 

Food is medicine and for thousands of years, humans used food to help chronic disease and ailments. Soup is an ideal food for healing because it contains a variety of spices and produce that contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  Antioxidants are substances like Vitamin C + E and beta carotenes that fight free radicals from doing additional damage to cells. 

​It is best to get this from real food before consuming supplements (the artificial version).

As seen on my YouTube Channel, I discuss various topics regarding COVID 19 and what foods are most ideal during this time. This recipe contains 4 ingredients I mentioned in my, "12 Healing Plant-Based Foods to Incorporate in Your Diet During Covid 19."

This recipe includes turmeric, garlic, coriander seeds and kale, all of which contain Vitamin C and are packed with antioxidants. This soup balances carbs, protein along with healthy fat from the olive oil. 

Not everyone has the luxury of cooking from home. But, during this time where many of us are unemployed, healthy cooking is possible on a budget. In addition, this as well as many other recipes on Mind Body Soul Food are affordable and time-friendly too.

Now that many of us have spare time, it is essential to look within (and save money) to detox from all the over indulgences from high sugar, salt, processed and fried foods. This is a time to take care of our health and ramp up immune system as even though you may not get COVID 19, the common flu and allergies are plaguing the states just as much.  

​Stay healthy. Stay well. Stay connected.

​3-4 tbsp olive oil
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, diced
1 large carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 med. red skin potato, chopped
3 cups kale, thinly sliced

1/2 cup French green lentils
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp tumeric
1/4 tsp coriander seeds

1/2 tsp salt

Directions: 
In a large pot, cook the onion and garlic in olive oil for 3 minutes. Next, add celery and carrots and cook for several minutes. Add the spices and potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (farro, kale, lentils) and simmer for 20-25 minutes until edible and silky smooth. Adjust any  seasoning to your taste. 

*Note: The broth will soak up so you can reduce the farro to 1/3 cup. Or add additional broth if needed.*

I'm Angel Castor from the US. White Caucasian Female. I'm 43 years old and I got married at the age of 25, I have only two children and I am living happily.

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine. Presently, I am very happy I got my husband back to me with the help of Dr. Odunga and we are living happily with so much love for each other. What-app message/call him at +2348167159012 to help you
