This immune-boosting super greens soup is quick and easy to make, and a real nutritional powerhouse. It’s packed with nutrients and contains a variety of antioxidant-rich green vegetables as well as turmeric, ginger, garlic and lime to really give you a boost!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large white onion
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 5 cloves garlic
- Thumb sized piece of ginger
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 litre vegetable stock (4 cups)
- 250 ml unsweetened soy milk (1 cup)
- 1 large head of broccoli
- 210 g frozen peas (1½ cups)
- 200 g spinach or kale (4 cups)
- Juice of a lime
- Handful of fresh coriander
Instructions
- Chop the onion, garlic and ginger. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic, ginger, salt and spices and fry for another couple of minutes.
- Whilst the onion is frying, chop the broccoli (including its stalk) into chunks. Add the stock, milk, broccoli and peas to the pan and cook for about 10 mins until the broccoli is cooked. Turn off the heat and add the spinach to wilt (put the lid on and the heat will wilt it). Finally, add the lime juice and coriander (and season to taste).
- Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Check the seasoning, add more if required, and serve.
Notes
- Finish the soup with an optional drizzle of cream or yoghurt and a few pumpkin seeds for a bit of crunch.
- If you are very hungry and want to up calories then add in some beans or chickpeas – you can either do this before you blend, so it stays smooth or add them afterwards to give it some bite.
- If you don’t like soy milk you can sub for any milk.
- It will last for 3-4 days in a sealed tub in the fridge and freezes well.
