Instructions

SOUP:
In a large pot, heat the olive oil.
Add in the leek and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the garlic, carrot, and celery, and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes along with a good pinch of salt (it helps to lightly salt each layer of additions as you go).
Add in the green beans, cabbage, tomatoes, water, bay leaves, and corn.
Bring the mix to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the mix simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the lid, stir in the fresh herbs and lemon juice.
Season, to taste.
BISCUITS:
Preheat the oven to 400.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with the coconut milk.
Let stand 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the sweet potato, oil, applesauce, maple syrup.
Add the coconut milk mix to the wet ingredients.
In another bowl, mix the flours, salt, and baking powder.
Mix everything together gently, just until all ingredients are moistened.
Dollop 7-8 spoonfuls of batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake the biscuits for 15-17 minutes, until lightly golden.
Cool and enjoy!
