Here’s another great soup recipe!

Clear Onion Soup is a light, but delicious soup. The ingredients are simple and easy to find:

Chicken Broth (can use beef broth as well, or a combination of both. You can also use vegetable broth if you’d like to keep it meat free

Onion

Carrot, Celery, Garlic and Ginger (for amazing depth of flavor)

Mushrooms and Scallions (for garnish)

Toasted Sesame Oil (for that unmistakable Asian flavor )

Coconut Aminos (or Soy Sauce) and Sriracha (optional-for boosting the clear soup to epic flavor proportions)

Directions

Roughly chop the onions, carrots and celery (no need to peel the carrots).

Slice the ginger and garlic into rounds in order to expose more surface area and unleash the most of its flavor.

Slightly caramelize the onion in a bit of regular oil in order to unlock their full deliciousness., about 10 minutes.

Add the carrots, celery, garlic, ginger, and toasted sesame oil. Pour in the chicken broth and salt to taste. Cover and heat on medium heat until the cover turns and the water seal is formed. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

Using the steamer,strain all the solid particles out of the soup. Garnish with fresh sliced scallions, very thinly sliced button mushrooms and serve it up!

You can also add a splash of soy sauce (or coconut aminos if you’re on the Whole 30 or Paleo diet), as well as a little squirt of siracha.

The Ultimate Immune-Boosting Soup by The Heavenly Maven

1 T coconut oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 lb shiitake mushrooms
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp turmeric
12 cups water
4 heads baby bok choy, bottoms chopped off
1/2 head kale, chopped
optional: 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
Chop off the bottom of the stem from your mushrooms and discard. Separate stems from tops and slice tops and remaining stem if necessary, into large pieces. You will only discard the very bottom of the stems, not the full stems as they contain many nutritional benefits! Heat up coconut oil in a 12 Quart Stock Pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add in celery and mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms have wilted. Add in spices (including ginger, if using) and water cover and increase heat to medium until a water seal forms. Cover and reduce heat to low for approximately 1 hour (the longer you leave the better). Add bok choy and kale in the last 10 minutes of cooking to wilt. Serve warm or store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

Hi Everyone,

These are tough times but so many of us have so much to be thankful for. One of the many things we can do is take time to learn something new or get better at something we already do.

It’s important to put some normalcy into our day and nothing helps to give more comfort to those around us, including ourselves, than a really great meal where everyone can sit around a table together and share their feelings for that day.

If you don’t already have a good cookware set, now is the best reason you will ever have to eat healthy and stay well. Children and adults alike can learn how good they can feel from eating and enjoying delicious meals and keeping their nutrition up. Junk food doesn’t promote well-being for long.

There is a misconception that eating healthy costs too much when in reality it is much cheaper to do so. A head of lettuce or a bag of frozen vegetables is a little over a dollar whereas a bag of Cheetos is around $3.49 or so.

Please contact me if you are ready to invest in the best cookware in the world. Lifetime Cookware by West Bend Cookware, is owned by Regal Ware Worldwide. It is made in the USA in West Bend, WI. The factory is up and running and shipping directly to our customers. If you hurry, you can be cooking Easter dinner with your new set of Lifetime Cookware!

Please private message us with your questions and contact information and we will be happy to give you a call. You can find us on Facebook under Lifetime America.

We look forward to a long and helpful relationship with all of our customers!

Stay well. We care.

Nothing is more delicious than a well cooked steak and onions, and I don’t mean well-done! This meal is so quick to make and so satisfying !

Start by slicing one or two “sweet” onions and preheating your covered 11″ stovetop skillet on medium heat.

Put the onions in a dry preheated skillet. Leave the temperature on medium the entire time. Cover.

Once the onions have been browned enough, transfer them to a bowl and use the same skillet to cook the steaks.

These New York Strip Steaks were cooked for 6 minutes before flipping them over. Notice the wonderful juice we’ll be able to use to re-brown the onions when done. Cook on medium high heat for 6 minutes per side. Again, cover the pan while cooking.

Don’t worry that the pan looks like this, the onions will pick up all the beautiful juices.

We’ve added some of the left over stir fry from our last meal to add the vegetables to the meal.

Now the meal is plated and it looks delicious! (It absolutely was!) Who says you can’t take 15 minutes to make dinner taste better than eating in a restaurant? For a fraction of the price, you can eat at home without guilt! This meal cost us only $4/apiece. It pays to have good pans!

Just how we like our steaks…medium and juicy with a nice crust. YUM
