Edible parts

Sprouts and microgreens intended for this purpose; cook sprouts thoroughly

Organic alfalfa sprouts. For 2 servings, provide 100 g (3.5 oz) of sprouts and 500 ml (2 cups) of pre-made vegetable soup. Add thoroughly cooked sprouts to a vegetable soup. Use only sprouts produced from seeds intended for food germination and discard any batch with an abnormal odor or mold. Prepare a broth with vegetables of your choice, then bring it to a boil. Add the sprouts and continue cooking until they are thoroughly cooked through; a simple rinse or decorative addition at the time of serving does not replace this step. Stir to distribute the heat and check the texture before serving. Season according to the other ingredients in the meal. For mixes, check the bag composition to account for allergens, especially sesame or mustard if present. Refrigerate leftovers promptly. This recipe does not make deteriorated sprouts usable and does not guarantee the safety of sprouts consumed raw. Keep equipment that has touched raw sprouts separate from clean utensils used to serve the soup.
