Svatantra Spicy Greens Soup

Tridoshic, slightly +Pitta
Serves 4 hungry friends

Ingredients
1 cup each of kale, collards and chard, chopped
4-5 cups water
2 tsps organic corn flour dissolved in 2 tbsp water
1 tsp cayenne pepper or 1 red hot chili pepper, chopped
2-3 tbsp ghee
1 tbsp cilantro, freshly chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
1 tsp nutritional flakes (optional)

Instructions:
Heat the ghee on medium heat in a large saucepan, add the chopped greens and chili (if using fresh) and saute on low heat for about 5-6 minutes.  Now, add the water and spices, including chili, if using dry.  Bring to boil on medium heat.  Next, add the corn flour and simmer on low heat for about 4-5 minutes.  Remove from heat and add the cilantro.  Cover and let sit for five minutes.  If using nutritional flakes, add now.

Note: The greens are great blood purifiers and are full of calcium.  Adding nutritional yeast supplies you with 18 amino acids, making it a complete protien, and with B Vitamins, which aid the body in managing stress levels.  Do not eat more than 3 tbsp of nutritional yeast a day, as it creates excess uric acid in the bloodstream, which can tax the kidneys.
