The colder, damp weather means that stuffy noses and labored coughs are kicking in, too. The great news is that soup season is here, and we’re ready to get the dual benefit of edibles in the form of a favorite comfort food that has its own immune-supporting properties.
In this recipe, we’re showing you how to make a vegan, nutrient-rich, inflammation-reducing infused soup right inside your Ardent FX device.
How to Get Started
The infusion base of this recipe is extra virgin olive oil. We’ve learned that the infusion rate of EVOO is close to 90%, making it a great medium for all types of edibles, with very little loss! Plus, high quality EVOO is extremely high in antioxidants.
And as a variation on this recipe, feel free to replace the cannabis-infused extra virgin olive oil with cannabis or hemp-infused coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or anything else you have on hand.
You can also make this plant-based soup using the Instant Edible method, to avoid any loss at all. With this method, you would simply grind up your decarboxylated material, and place it in the soup just as you would any other spice. The beauty of the instant edible method is that you can always add more or less decarboxylated cannabis, kief or concentrate to your meals without having to alter the recipe or worry about if you used too little or too much oil in order to get your perfect dose.
You'll notice in the recipe below we included both infused oil and cannasalt, in order to show the variety in ways you can infuse your cuisine. You can use either or, or both!
Let's get cooking!
