A note on sulforaphane: the enzyme (myrosinase) that converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane is destroyed by cooking. Th enzyme is activated when we chew raw brocolli, but also when we chop it. So if we chop our veggies and let them rest about 40 minutes the conversion takes place. Cooking does not destroy the converted sulforaphane.
@@joinZOE Actually, heating them more than 60 degrees damages the sulforaphane. Foundmyfitness described the best way. Place them in water for 10 mins at 60C. If you have sprouts they can tolerate 70C for 10 mins. Which substantially increases the sulforaphane (3-4 times). The higher you go above that and the longer, the more it gets destroyed. I grow the sprouts, which are FULL of much more sulforaphane than the florets and then heat the sprouts for 10 mins at 70 to tripple that already high amount! If you just cook them as @erobtelus described you will not get good results.
A similar effect is noted for allicin from garlic - which is why my first cooking step is always to mince the garlic and let it rest. Learned this from an excellent book called Eating on the Wild Side by Jo Robinson. So many interesting nutrition tips in there, highly recommended.
That’s the style of soup I always made for my kids and their friends, but the sarcastic bunch always referred to it as Mums Stew, in fact they still do. We used to all sit around the fire pit on a Friday night then a musical interlude with the boys on their guitars. They’re all grown up and moved away ( they’re 46, 34 and29) and I’m old, but we had fun. ❤
In terms of expense as mentioned below, one can easily reduce the number of vegetables to a more budget friendly version. I was inspired by the idea of this soup. I wouldn't feel like I had to include exactly all the vegetables mentioned here, every time I make it. Starting with some carrots celery, broth, can of tomatoes, beans, leaks, onions and a bag of spinach. Add in some frozen corn and green beans if you need a grocery friendly option. That is a good start for a soup, and you could make a big batch and freeze this. Then add in other ingredients as your budget or your garden allow. I think this is genius!
I'd love to see a version with a working class person, maybe a single Mum living in an inner city using all supermarket items and see what the cost is for them to make this soup, or similar. 20 to 25 different ingredients in a soup is a luxury no matter how cheap the beans or single ingredient. It's not a criticism of the eating plan itself, I eat similarly, just the cost involved and access issues for many.
Just grab what you can and throw it into a soup. Even as simple as one legume (bean, pea, lentil etc), some type of leaf (kale, leak etc), and then some flavour (onions, garlic, tomatoes) and some type of starch (potatoes, corn) if you want it. The joy of soups is that you can pretty much do whatever you want with whatever is available.
And yet spending £20 plus on a maccies meal most don't bat an eyelid. For £20 you can get masses of vegs, beans,lentils. It's just being bothered to make the effort to do it. The junk food industry is as buoyant as ever.
I second this 200% because in every major supermarket you CANNOT BUY VEG LOOSE so if you want a good variety you have to buy multipack kilos of it and that means buying for about 10 not one or two. Also, how many households have a garden? None in cities or flats or student rooms.
I just watched nigella pouring frozen fruit on sugary fingers topped with marmalade and whipped cream for bloody breakfast. Thank god for you. Just watching this restores my balance. ❤😂❤😂
I made this today 23/2/24 using seasonal veg from my allotment plot adding in parsnip and celeriac. This half the garden soup is going to have delicious seasonal variations. ❤
Vegetable soup looks full of goodness, we always gave our children vegetables and Yorkshire Puddings ,Onion sauce helped them eat the vegetables, grown up now 😊
So glad to see Hugh on board with Zoe, a very healthy combination. Looking forward to further collaboration of and Zoe science and Hugh's very accessible recipes. So useful in these financially difficult times.
Indeed. Always been a huge Hugh fan, ever since his 'cook on the wild side' days. Oh how I wanted my own Gastrowagon! 😂 Even entered the comp to win it lol I'd been travelling round the country myself and had to stop just before it aired, so it was right up my street (pun totally intended). River cottage fed my desire to eventually have my own smallholding as well, but unfortunately ill health put paid to that dream, altho I've been as self-sufficient as I can without going the whole hog (again, intended). Which is one of the reasons that I'm doing Zoe now, and up pops Hugh again! Crazy how he's sort of been there in the background of my last 30yrs, foodwise. Looking forward to more of his recipes for Zoe.
Pure poetry and pure science in one. Amazing. I also believe that canned beans is not cheating, but reasonable managing of resources - time and energy.
Great to see HFW give us actual Zoe recipes. As I was only making the soup for one ( and some leftovers) I only needed tiny amounts and managed to get to 26 including some extra herbs and spices. Carefully removing just one outside layer of a red cabbage (had no beetroot) meant I could leave the rest of it in the ground and keeping the last few courgettes in the fridge wrapped in kitchen paper, lets me just use a half or less. Frozen leek, onion, spinach and green beans meant no waste and my stock was made from chicken thighs from the weekend. It was very tasty.
Nice, thanks. I had wondered about the volume issue. I don't have a working garden, but do have a veg shop nearish, and they'll do quite small quantities, but not sure they'll go this small!
Make a big pot and freeze half of it, or you can keep heating it up for a few days and it’ll do for lunch for nearly a week, just make sure you boil it really well especially if made with chicken bone stock.
Was it really necessary to show HFW taking a shower just to show his glucose monitor? A bit naff, a bit of wholesome gardening and a few recipes are fine@@joinZOE
So glad about this collaboration. Lot of respect for H F-W who’s long advocated healthier eating. 6 weeks into my Zoe programme I’m looking to increase my soup repertoire.
A great addition to Zoe. Amazing garden & soup, in particular. Can't wait to make 'em all. Thanks so much from the San Francisco Bay Area in the States!
When production staff find out that they're doing a gig with HFW they must be thinking "Yes! - result!!" Great to have his boyish enthusiasm supporting and spreading the message
put the frozen peas in *after* you take it off the heat, that way they will still taste like freshly picked: sweet and crunchy, instead of cooked and squishy.
It's exciting to see how chefs can use this newfound approach to the diet world in their cooking. I can imagine there will be cookbooks for people with specific blood sugar/fat guidelines in the future. What a time to be alive.
Pity the Zoe protocol is so expensive. I hope the price comes down as more people engage with it so the rest of us can also benefit. Great video and tips. Thanks
Zoe is a business. Tim Spector isn't trying to help us, he's trying to help himself get richer than he ever dreamt of back when he did real academic work. Write to him and ask why his books are not available in free e-book versions. If the goal is to help rather than to make money, surely he would not demand money in order to share his precious insights. @Tim: Will you commit to making sure any future books on the topic of nutrition will be made freely available in electronic form? If not, why not? @Zoe: Will you become transparent and tell everyone exactly how much money you are making from the business? Both Zoe as an organization and the top 20 individuals with the concrete amounts? By this I mean you make these facts as disoverable as your science content and nutritional advice content, publishing a video for instance each quarter and presenting your revenue and how it is spent and distributed to various parties. If your mission is what people commenting on this video seem to believe it is, to improve people's health and make their lives better, seeing that you are just making a good living, not turning nutrition advice into big business, would really help your credibility and make it easier for skeptics like me to think your advice might not be designed mainly to lock me in to your system, and only secondarily to make me healthy and happy.
I put my fresh leeks INTO A POT OF WATER and cut off what I need. The Leeks grow roots. When I've used all but roots and 1cm I put in soil in kitchen window with the spring onion stumps. Yes they do grow, a little and they go in "half the fridge soup" fresh fresh fresh. Perfect for Singlies (I had to leave my veg garden and 2yrs later in still mourning it 😭
Absolutely delighted to see this collaboration! HFW has led on healthy eating, sustainable growing and community sharing for decades, a real trailblazer. Well done both Zoe and Hugh this is a natural partnership of science, good food and social responsibility. 😊
I volunteer one morning a week at a local organic farm and get a share of produce for my work. It’s a great way to get good seasonal veg and a bit of exercise. My share this week has almost all of the ingredients for Hugh’s soup. Guess what I’m making today?
I wear an apron every day of my life, and I love it! I have a custom made apron that fits perfectly, and it brings me so much joy. I got mine from Vermont Apron Company.
A word of caution: I developed gut issues on a high fibre diet. If you notice that you're constipated, bloated, gassy, take it easy with the fibre. Usually, when you're constipated, the advice is to eat more fibre, drink more water, etc, but it could actually worsen your symptoms and even cause SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). The root cause of these problems is not the healthy food, obviously, but many people already have underlying issues (slow gut motility due to undiagnosed hypothyroidism, for example, but there could be many other issues). If you then eat this much fibre, you're going to overwhelm your digestive system. First, you'll have to solve your underlying issues and then increase the fibre in your diet gradually.
@@Beatrice-nx5ld 25-30g per day is the *minimum* recommended fiber intake, it's certainly not the "limit." I'm sorry you have gut issues, but millions of people eat way more than 30g of fiber per day with zero issues. I get at least 50-60g/day, sometimes more, and have no gut issues at all. I'm 67, vegan, and all my blood work is perfect.
Absolutely brilliant - used a variant of this today alongside Tim S improvisation tack. Was awesome & 2 weeks on the trot improvisation soups have had a big 👍👍👍The guys at Zoe are brilliant & this was great for ideas too. Thanks for recording this and sharing.
The food looks amazing & no surprise there. Can I just say a big hurrah for Hugh F-W's very darned hoody 🙌 Living a life in tune with the cycles of life!
Here for Hugh!!! Reminds me of the good old days (which was why we started our smallholding and never looked back!) Was the other kale variety Red Russian? Tracy
Huef!! (As my dad calls you) a fab collab. Spurred on by the success of my courgettes this summer, I've picked up some veggie seeds. Very excited to grow my veggie garden, even if its just in a few big containers!
Nice. Hugh, I have your River Cottage Fermentation (NO.18) Book. It is brilliant. Could you not add a couple of fermented vege's after cooking the soup on top of the pesto? I eat two meals a day and always have around 6 tbsps of 2 different type of ferments with each meal. I feel like I am missing major nutrition without my daily ferments. Do a Zoe on your ferments also. Great video, thanks.
Love this garden and the idea of so many plants in a meal. Wish I had a garden like that one! I would have enjoyed seeing the response of the partakers of the meal to see if it tasted as good as it was healthy ❤
Thank you so much for this it was great 👍 That being said, not many people have a garden like yours so this recipe is not practical for many, (including myself). It would be great to have healthy and simple recipes on this channel to include and encourage healthy eating. Thanks again though, it looked delicious 🤗
My nutritionist strongly advocates always limiting kale intake and preferably always cooking it--not eating it raw. Especially of concern if you have thyroid disease (blocks your ability to absorb iodine). There are other issues. Good to do the research.
Heartily recommend using an electric pressure cooker for dishes like this. Way more fuel efficient, at least half the cook time, needs less additional fluid and relies more on the liquid present in the vegetables.
Ok, that's tomorrow sorted then; take the day off work to chop vegetables and make soup!! (And before you all jump on me - I'm vegetarian, love Hugh F W, and have his 'Vegetable' book, which is a bible for me and I use it a lot)
@@LaurieAnnCurry Got mine from Amazon. I have most of his books and I think it is amazing how his body shape has changed since he became more plant focused.
I had my best results when i gave up all the starchy veggies and went keto with more fatty red meat, eggs, butter ,oily fish and got my tummy in the sunlight, all my previous gut issues like gerd, anxiety, dental plaque, joint pain, metabolic syndrome etc have gone away , thanks anyway Hugh
No need to saute those veg at the beggining - they're healthier just cooked in the stock. Scotch broth is also a great, simple way of getting these good things into you with very little prep. My granny's recipe is a pack of broth mix (rinsed) with a chopped leek, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes and parsley. Cover with 2-3 litres of water and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave to cook for 1 1/2 hours. I like to add a couple of skinned chicken thighs which I remove at the end and shred the chicken meat to add back in - means you get the advantage of the extra protein and some bone broth in there. Super simple and makes enough that we can eat it for lunch for 2-3 days and freeze half for the next week!
I'm thinking about investing in the Zoe programme. Nuts, legumes, and some seeds are potent migraine triggers for me. I'm allergic to fish, shellfish, and fungi. I got really irritated with my employer's BeWell programme as I kept getting low scores because I don't eat these foods! I'd rather not repeat this experience.
The nice thing about it is you customize your choices and see how they stack up to your own fat/sugar response. I thought whole grain or sprouted, flour less bread was low glycemic but not for me and I am glad to get those foods down to a minimum.
Well prepping all those veg beforehand must take a good 20 mins so Hugh can then chop, add to pot, 20 mins, cook for 20 mins ... a good hour. Zoe a bit of a luxury.
Not sure how to go about logging the earth and knife rust in my Zoe app for this recipe, Hugh's definitely contained both. I get it was more of an approach rather than recipe vid but bloody hell imagine pricing that up in your local Sainsbury's. Huge Zoe fan, love the thing, life changing app and approach.
Alliums are cheap, chard is so productive you will be glad to use as much as possible, the point also of the video was that you can use a variety of different vegetables and don't need to use exactly the same ones. You could use cabbage instead of kale, you can use the leaves of a head of cauliflower. If you don't have fresh herbs, use dried. The oil is probably one of the more expensive ingredients, extra virgin oils aren't cheap.
The recipe is on Zoe as Seedy Almond Cake - however the ingredients on Zoe DO NOT include the wholewheat flour! When I added that in it brought the score down to 65 for me, so be aware!
Not a new veg grower, but have "a lot to learn*. I've had slug/snail damage in 5 gardens over 60 years, damage lessening with time, I've used sand, beer traps, rue + other plants, etc, in desperation - slug pellets. 5 yrs ago RHS (I'm an ex-member) did tests on "home methods", result was they didn't work. Good on you!

I agree. Not many have access to a garden. Supermarket veggies and on a budget would be lovely.
Agreed. We all want to eat healthily and reduce risk of diseases but the cost of buying good quality products makes it out of reach.

😂❤HF-W's infomercial for Zoe. It all looked great, and as a side to a lovely grass fed, grass finished steak, quite a nice meal. 😊
Great addition to the Zoe team. I need a nice seasonal recipe library now so I can access ideas for the opposite season here in Australia 😅
This is great! I love this content and recipe. Please bring more like this ❤
I remember as a child we were always given the cabbage water to drink 🤗
At home, the cabbage water always went into the gravy. So we all got the benefit from it in tasty gravy!
I’d need to take a very long (solitary) walk after drinking cabbage water 😅
It's Kioggia,...with a hard c..but wonderful, wonderful garden! You've really earned yourself a new follower..
Waiting to see if / how hugh gets all of this into that pot. Quite admirable!
Heartily recommend using an electric pressure cooker for dishes like this. Way more fuel efficient, at least half the cook time, needs less additional fluid and relies more on the liquid present in the vegetables.
great idea!
Loved this! Looking forward to more input from Hugh!
Ok, that's tomorrow sorted then; take the day off work to chop vegetables and make soup!! (And before you all jump on me - I'm vegetarian, love Hugh F W, and have his 'Vegetable' book, which is a bible for me and I use it a lot)
Get his new one it is amazing
I’m across the pond and am hoping to find Hugh’s books over here. I am in love!
@@LaurieAnnCurry Got mine from Amazon. I have most of his books and I think it is amazing how his body shape has changed since he became more plant focused.
@@CeliaMoore-b6p thank you!
Absolutely love this!! Please make more. Made me wanto to run out and get an allotment!
So inspirational! I'm really hungry now!
I had my best results when i gave up all the starchy veggies and went keto with more fatty red meat, eggs, butter ,oily fish and got my tummy in the sunlight, all my previous gut issues like gerd, anxiety, dental plaque, joint pain, metabolic syndrome etc have gone away , thanks anyway Hugh
No need to saute those veg at the beggining - they're healthier just cooked in the stock.
Scotch broth is also a great, simple way of getting these good things into you with very little prep. My granny's recipe is a pack of broth mix (rinsed) with a chopped leek, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes and parsley. Cover with 2-3 litres of water and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave to cook for 1 1/2 hours.
I like to add a couple of skinned chicken thighs which I remove at the end and shred the chicken meat to add back in - means you get the advantage of the extra protein and some bone broth in there.
Super simple and makes enough that we can eat it for lunch for 2-3 days and freeze half for the next week!
Thanks so much for the info about sulforaphane! I’ll chop my broccoli and let it rest in future….!
Just bought Much More Veg at charity shop by HFW. Really looking forward to trying the recipes
Nice addition - except it’s Spring here in Oz.
Riverford Organic Farmers is an excellent YT channel for recipes too.
Pulling those leaks off the ground also counts as resistence training.
😂 a double benefit
Fantastic, just what we did, bring it on
More like this, wonderful! Thank you!
Can't wait for the day when you will be able to dip your spoon into the screen and take a bite.
How incredible would that be!
I'm thinking about investing in the Zoe programme. Nuts, legumes, and some seeds are potent migraine triggers for me. I'm allergic to fish, shellfish, and fungi. I got really irritated with my employer's BeWell programme as I
kept getting low scores because I don't eat these foods! I'd rather not repeat this experience.
The nice thing about it is you customize your choices and see how they stack up to your own fat/sugar response. I thought whole grain or sprouted, flour less bread was low glycemic but not for me and I am glad to get those foods down to a minimum.
Yes, lovely if you can afford it !!!
I’d love to have a garden like that, but for now I’m just going to keep some of these ingredients in mind for my next trip to tesco XD
Thumbnail showed a piece of pie, replete with whipped cream. Lovely soup.
Lovely and '20 mins to put together ' because most of the veg prep has already taken place lol
Well prepping all those veg beforehand must take a good 20 mins so Hugh can then chop, add to pot, 20 mins, cook for 20 mins ... a good hour. Zoe a bit of a luxury.
Not sure how to go about logging the earth and knife rust in my Zoe app for this recipe, Hugh's definitely contained both. I get it was more of an approach rather than recipe vid but bloody hell imagine pricing that up in your local Sainsbury's. Huge Zoe fan, love the thing, life changing app and approach.
Alliums are cheap, chard is so productive you will be glad to use as much as possible, the point also of the video was that you can use a variety of different vegetables and don't need to use exactly the same ones. You could use cabbage instead of kale, you can use the leaves of a head of cauliflower. If you don't have fresh herbs, use dried. The oil is probably one of the more expensive ingredients, extra virgin oils aren't cheap.
The recipe is on Zoe as Seedy Almond Cake - however the ingredients on Zoe DO NOT include the wholewheat flour! When I added that in it brought the score down to 65 for me, so be aware!
Just love love love this.
Really enjoyed this and great tip for using lots of veg.
So cool Zoe to be teaming up with Hugh he is brilliant!!!
Perfect collaboration 😊
Great video. Is there a recipe available for your almond cake please?
Looks absolutely delicious! Im going to make this soup
More of Zoe recipes please 🙏🙏🙏
My garden gets annihilated by slugs. I am so disheartened. A new veg grower with a lot to learn.
Not a new veg grower, but have "a lot to learn*. I've had slug/snail damage in 5 gardens over 60 years, damage lessening with time, I've used sand, beer traps, rue + other plants, etc, in desperation - slug pellets. 5 yrs ago RHS (I'm an ex-member) did tests on "home methods", result was they didn't work. Good on you!
Would love a garden like yours too… natural food to imbibe
Thanks Hugh!!
thanks for watching!
This is eating I'll bring the wine xx
Could you blend some of the soup or would that make it less nutritious?
