Not too many ingredients in this one but good just the same when you just want something warm, light, and nourishing without too much work! If you have any broth on hand, use it instead of water. The soup is still flavorful without the broth. Also, if you eat dairy, cream would be good instead of the coconut milk.
2 servings
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup ghee
4 cups chopped celery
1 cup classic coconut milk, or cream if you wish to use dairy
1 cup water
1 tsp. dried sweet basil
2 Tbsp. chickpea miso
salt to taste
Melt the ghee in a soup pot on medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add celery and saute another 5 minutes. Add the water, coconut milk and basil. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to keep it at a simmer. Cover but crack the lid. Simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and add the miso. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Add salt to taste. Serve hot.
