RECIPE: Easy SUPER Green Soup!

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Kale adds more nutrients while frozen spinach is often less expensive.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade broth

💰Cheaper: water

Homemade broth is healthier, while water is a cost-saving option.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs can be healthier in terms of shelf life, and omitting herbs saves money.

Chop spring onions into shape for cooking.

Heat olive oil in a pan until it sizzles.

Add chopped spring onions to the pan and season with black pepper and sea salt.

Turn down the heat to medium and sauté the spring onions until softened.

Cut broccoli into florets and add to the pan.

Add green peas to the pan and stir through with the onions.

Pour in vegetable stock until it covers the peas but not too much to avoid a loose soup.

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

Add broccoli to the boiling mixture and cook until fork tender.

Add a hefty handful of baby spinach and mint leaves to the pot.

Press the spinach into the mixture with a wooden spoon until it wilts down, about 1-2 minutes.

Prepare a hand blender for blending the soup until smooth.

Blend the soup until it reaches a smooth, bright green consistency.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with black pepper and salt as needed.

Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Add a dollop of creme fraiche or crumbled feta cheese on top as a finishing touch.
