In honor of Dr. Seuss' Birthday I found a recipe for green soup online that I just had to try. Of course, I manipulated the recipe a little bit and came up with my own version of it. I have tried green soup before and it lacked in taste and seemed too watery. This one however was a winner! Yummy, creamy, and SO good for you. Probably a good soup if you have a cold, are going through the winter blahs, or just to give you an immune boost in these last glorious weeks of winter.
Green Grinch Soup
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1 cup leeks, chopped
1 cups brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 1/5 cups spinach
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for a minute or two, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Add the spinich,broccoli, leeks and brussels sprouts, and stir. Let cook for a few minutes,
stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth, bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 15-20 minutes or until the
veggies are soft
- Put it all into a food processor, blender, or Vitamix and blend until smooth. Add 1/2 cup coconut milk (actually any milk will do)
Season with salt and pepper as you please. I found I needed nothing. It was perfect. Makes about 3 bowls full. Enough to make at the beginning of the week and have for lunch a few days. I paired mine with some sauteed garlic shrimp and a cabbage steak. Sounds weird to come, but seriously yummy to me:)
Eat and Enjoy!
