Balsamic Vinaigrette

| Sauces and Dressings, Members only

Looking at the ingredients list on many store bought Balsamic Vinaigrette, even the ‘natural’ dressings are often a nutritional disaster and need to be avoided. Most are a combination of highly processed vegetable oils, sugar (many of the dressings on the market list it as the third ingredient), sulphites and other damaging and allergenic additives….

Creamy Vegetable Soup (with crunchy chickpeas)

| Vegetarian, Soups

This divine, nourishing Creamy Vegetable Soup (with crunchy chickpeas) is a protein rich meal or starter. It’s loaded with fibre, good fats, liver and gut loving veggies and it tastes so creamy and delicious. The chickpeas add in lovely flavour and texture and also form a complete vegetarian protein with the cashews.

The curry flavour is very mild, almost unnoticeable but it adds a real depth of flavour (and lots of goodness) that just works beautifully with the cheesiness of the nutritional yeast. There’s so much to love in this wholesome soup.

Health benefits

Cauliflower and sweet potato bring fibre, vitamin C and slow-burning carbohydrates to support steady energy. Cashews add healthy fats and a lovely creaminess while also offering minerals such as magnesium. The mild curry spices gently support digestion, and roasted chickpeas add plant protein and extra fibre to keep you fuller for longer.

Ingredients

For this creamy vegetable soup recipe, you will need cauliflower, sweet potato, celery, onion, garlic cloves, cashews, chicken broth, mild curry powder, nutritional yeast and a topping of roasted chickpeas seasoned with tamari, cumin, smoked paprika and maple.

How to make this Creamy Vegetable Soup

Roast the seasoned chickpeas until crisp. While they cook, sauté the onion and celery, then add garlic, curry spices, cauliflower, sweet potato, cashews and broth. Simmer until tender, blend until smooth and stir in the nutritional yeast. Taste and adjust the seasoning so the flavours really shine.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve warm with the crunchy chickpeas and fresh coriander scattered over the top. A drizzle of chilli oil works beautifully if you enjoy a little heat. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer and reheat gently to maintain that velvety texture.

Vary this Creamy Vegetable Soup to suit your dietary needs

Omit the chickpeas for a legume-free version and add toasted pepitas on top. Swap the nutritional yeast for grated parmesan if dairy is tolerated.

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

To Serve

  • ½ bunch/s fresh coriander leaves – finely chopped
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 390°F (fan-forced).
  • Drain the chickpeas really well and dry in a clean tea towel.
  • Toss in the tamari, cumin, paprika and maple syrup.
  • Place on a baking tray (in a single layer) and roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring a few times.
  • While they are roasting make the soup.
  • Place the onion and celery in a large pot with the olive oil or ghee.
  • Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and curry powder and saute for a couple of minutes, stirring.
  • Then add the cauliflower, sweet potato, cashews, broth or stock and season to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables have softened, 20-30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool before pureeing with a stick blender or blender. Add the nutritional yeast and blend again. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt really brings out the flavour).

Thermomix

  • Follow steps 1-5 to make the crunchy chickpeas.
  • Place the onion (quartered), celery (roughly chopped) and garlic in the Thermomix bowl. Chop 5 seconds, speed 5.
  • Add the olive oil and curry powder; saute 3 minutes, 100deg, speed 1, MC off.
  • Add the cauliflower (roughly chopped), sweet potato (roughly chopped) and cashews and chop 5 seconds, speed 5. Add the broth or stock and seasoning.
  • Cook 25 minutes, 100deg, speed 2, steaming basket on top to prevent splatter.
  • Add the nutritional yeast.
  • Blend 30 seconds, speed 6-7 or until smooth. Turn the dial up slowly to prevent splatter and make sure the steaming basket is still on top.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt really brings out the flavour).

Serve

  • Once the chickpeas are crunchy (or almost crunchy) remove from the oven and serve over the soup with the coriander. I also added a drizzle of chilli oil (because I love a bit of spice) but this is entirely optional.

Make-ahead

  • Re-heat in a pot over a low heat until just hot.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Grab Bag Formula Method

  • If you've done the **Grab Bag Formula Short Course, this is the method to convert this recipe…
  • Place all the ingredients for the soup into the Grab Bag.
  • Carefully seal your Grab Bag. I close most of the seal then press out as much air as I can then complete the seal. Place the Grab Bag in the freezer.
  • To cook, remove the Grab Bag from the freezer, place on a baking tray and thaw in the fridge overnight.
  • Tip the contents of the Grab Bag into a large oven proof dish (with a tight fitting lid) or Dutch oven. It may still be a bit frozen; that’s okay.
  • Place the lid on the pot, set your oven to 150°C/300°F (fan-forced) and cook for 2 hours.
  • Allow to cool before pureeing with a stick blender or blender. Add the nutritional yeast and blend again. Taste and adjust the seasoning (salt really brings out the flavour).

Immune Bombs

| Drinks & Smoothies, Staples

These Immune Bombs are a fabulous remedy to make ahead of the cooler weather. They are quick and easy to make and store well in the freezer. If you’re feeling under the weather or just want to get ahead with immune support during the flu season, you can use these to make a fast, no fuss immune supportive, anti-inflammatory tea.

Add the ice block to boiling water, mix in Manuka honey (I love the Barnes Natural’s range if you are in Australia, it’s Aussie made so you’re supporting local beekeepers and has the most beautiful flavour) or another raw medicinal honey and take a moment to relax and enjoy instant immune support!

Warning – the turmeric can stain (hands, benches, plastics). Wash in warm soapy water. Also sunlight helps remove the stains if utensils do become yellowed.

Health benefits

Turmeric & Ginger – The turmeric is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral. This, combined with the anti-inflammatory and warming effects of ginger, means that both are wonderful for treating the congestion associated with respiratory infections.

Lemon – Lemon obviously donates a little hit of vitamin C. But it is the zest that impresses the most. Lemon zest is very nutrient dense, an amazing antioxidant and is very anti-bacterial too. It is also very good for stimulating digestion and breaking down mucous. This is why where ever a recipe calls for lemon juice, I always try to incorporate the zest too.

Sea Salt – supports hydration

Black pepper – Black pepper is replete with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Coconut oil – The principle medium chain fatty acids in coconut, lauric and capric acid, are anti-inflammatory and support immune and digestive health. The fat also helps the absorption of fat soluble vitamins and active compounds in the turmeric.

Cinnamon – Cinnamon is showing some promising results as an antiviral. It is an anti-inflammatory, warming herb with many antioxidants.

Honey – Honey has been used for centuries to reduce inflammation, promote healing and reduce infection. But not all honey is created equal! Processed honey has NO medicinal qualities. Only real, raw honey possesses these properties, with some types of honey more potent than others. Manuka honey is a type of honey which is potently antibiotic and is receiving much attention in the medical community for its medicinal qualities. Look for a MGO of 400+ -550+ for high grade immune support. I use Barnes Natural’s brand if you are in Australia (you can buy it in store or online at Chemist Warehouse).

The final ingredient to help your body heal is REST. Stop and take the time to sip slowly at this hot cup of tea and allow your body the opportunity to heal. Get enough sleep and give your immune system the chance to fight infection.

Make these Immune Bombs ASAP so they are ready to grab from the freezer at the first hint of a sore throat, cold or feeling run down!

Health benefits

Turmeric and ginger are renowned for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combined with the vitamin C from lemon, black pepper for better turmeric absorption, and honey for its soothing, antimicrobial benefits, this recipe delivers an immunity-enhancing drink to help your body thrive.

Ingredients

This recipe brings together immune-supportive ingredients such as fresh turmeric, ginger, lemon, and black pepper, which aid in combating inflammation and improving digestion. Coconut oil adds healthy fats that help the body absorb the turmeric’s curcumin, while cinnamon adds warming spice and balances blood sugar levels.

How to make Immune Bombs

Blend the turmeric and ginger together until finely minced. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the honey) and blend until smooth. Freeze the mixture in ice cube trays for easy, grab-and-go portions. When ready to enjoy, place a cube in a mug, add boiling water, stir to dissolve, and mix in honey to taste.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Simply drop a frozen Immune Bomb cube into a large mug or thermos, add hot water, and stir to create a nourishing drink. These cubes can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container, making them easy to prepare whenever needed.

Vary this to suit your dietary needs

For a coconut-free version, substitute the coconut oil with ghee, which provides similar health benefits and a rich, buttery flavour. You can also adjust the amount of honey or opt for a different natural sweetener, depending on your preference.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.

Hazelnutella Anzac Biscuit

| After School Snacks, Baked Sweets

This new Hazelnutella Anzac Biscuit is sure to become an any time of the year favourite. These biscuits are a delicious twist on the traditional ANZAC biscuit, combining the classic oats and syrup base with a rich Nutella centre. This indulgent biscuit offers the perfect balance between crispy edges and a chewy centre, with a hint of hazelnut that elevates the flavour.

We’ve got quite a few flavour variations on the humble Anzac biscuit here at Well Nourished. Click HERE for even more inspiration!

Health benefits

Using wholemeal spelt flour and rolled oats provides more fibre and nutrients than refined alternatives. Hazelnut meal adds healthy fats, and if you opt to make your own Nutella, you can control the sweetness and avoid additives and vegetable oils. If you can’t make your own nutella, there are some better store bought options available in the supermarket. We’ve also used less refined sugars instead of the usual golden syrup and brown sugar found in traditional Anzacs.

Ingredients

These cookies are made from a simple mix of butter, oats, spelt flour, and hazelnut meal. You can choose from honey, rice malt syrup, or maple syrup as the sweetener, and a homemade or store-bought Nutella for the filling.

How to make Hazelnutella Anzac Biscuit

In a large bowl, start by melting butter with syrup, then stir in bicarb (baking soda) and the dry ingredients to form a dough. Press golf-sized balls of the mixture onto a tray, making indents with your thumb. Add a spoonful of Nutella to each indent before baking them to golden perfection. The longer you bake, the crispier the biscuit becomes. Cool on a wire rack.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Enjoy these biscuits with a cuppa, or as a sweet snack any time of day. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge, or freeze them for later. While the Nutella centre may whiten when frozen, it still tastes delicious.

Vary this Hazelnutella Anzac Biscuit to suit

For a gluten-free version, replace oats with quinoa flakes and spelt flour with buckwheat or another gluten-free flour. To make it dairy-free or vegan, use coconut oil and rice malt syrup. For a nut-free version, swap hazelnut meal with ground seeds. You can also add cacao to the dough for a double chocolate variation.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.

We’ve got quite a few flavour variations on the humble Anzac biscuit here at Well Nourished. This new Hazelnutella Anzac is sure to become an anytime of the year favourite. The combination of oaty anzacs with the hazelnut meal and nutella centre is a match made in heaven.

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F (fan forced) and line a large biscuit tray with baking paper.
  • In a large pot, gently heat the butter and honey or rice syrup until melted. Remove from the heat. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix very well.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, and mix until well combined. The mixture should feel wet and sticky but presses together. If it feels a bit dry, add a tiny bit of water to bring them together.
  • With wet hands squeeze the mixture into approximately golf sized balls, press between your palms to flatten slightly, make an indent in the centre with your thumb and place well apart on the baking tray (they spread).
  • Add about half a teaspoon of Nutella to the indent in the centre of the biscuit.
  • Bake until golden (approximately 10-12 minutes).
  • The longer they are baked the crispier they become. So if you like a slightly chewy biscuit remove just as they start to brown. For a crunchy biscuit, leave a little longer. I also find the gluten-free version cooks quicker still.
  • Cool, undisturbed on the tray (they will harden as they cool).

Thermomix Method

  • First, grind your seeds, 10 seconds, speed 8. Set aside.
  • Now melt your butter and syrup/honey, 1 minute, temp. 90, speed 3.
  • Add the bicarb and mix 10 seconds, speed 3.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix approx. 20 seconds, reverse, interval speed until combined.
  • Roll and bake as per above method.

Store

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. The Nutella centre does whiten when frozen, but still tastes great.

Notes

Gluten and grain-free

Replace the oats with quinoa flakes and spelt flour with buckwheat or a gluten-free flour. You may have to adjust the amounts so that the mixture is sticky and moist but able to be squeezed into balls (with wet hands). Just keep adding more quinoa and gluten-free flour until it feels right.

Dairy-free

Replace the butter with coconut oil (but they do loose the classic buttery ANZAC flavour). You may need to adjust the oil quantities slightly so the dough holds together.

Vegan

Choose the dairy-free variation and rice malt syrup as your sweetener.

Coconut-free

Replace the coconut with more hazelnut meal.

Fructose friendly

Choose rice malt syrup as your sweetener and omit the rapadura.

Double chocolate

Mix 2 tbsp of cacao powder through the biscuit dough.
