Super Simple Very Green Soup Recipes

EASY GREEN VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
• Add the peas and bring back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tbsp of the peas and set aside for the garnish.
• Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan, then carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to blitz it until it's very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
• Ladle into bowls, then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter over your favourite soft herbs or cress. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

SUPER GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Caramelize onions over medium low heat in a large stock pot or dutch oven with lid on, stirring occasionally. Cook until deep brown and cooked down, 30+ minutes.
• Add carrots, arborio rice and 2 C broth. Bring to a boil, stir, and then simmer for 15 minutes.
• Wash greens, removing tough stems from kale and beet greens. Add to pot with remaining broth. Stir and cook over medium heat until greens are cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Add nutritional yeast, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Add additional water as needed depending on whether you want a thick stew or thinner brothier soup.
• Blend using immersion blender or in blender until soup is smooth and creamy.
• Top with a squeeze of lemon and/or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

SUPER HEALTHY 'GREEN' SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium heat on the stove. Add some olive oil, the garlic, chilli and leek (or onion, if using). Saute gently for 2 minutes. Do not allow leek to change colour; remember the soup is a 'green' soup so the vegetables should stay as green as possible - we don't want them browned!
• Add the celery and saute gently for another 2 minutes.
• Add broccoli, zucchini and capsicum, stirring all ingredients together. Saute gently for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly. Use your best judgement at this point; vegetables should be softened but not mushy, and they should not be changing colour.
• Add chicken stock, water and lemon juice and seeded mustard. Cover pot and bring to boil. Allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until vegetables are soft but not disintegrating.
• Puree the soup well, using either a stick blender or carefully blending batches in a food processor. If soup is too thick, add more water until you achieve the consistency you prefer.
• Once pureed, transfer soup back to pot and add lentils (if using). Bring to boil and simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary (I never add salt but some might feel it is necessary to put some in).
• Enjoy!
