Description
This Green Goddess Soup is a creamy, immunity-boosting blend of roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini with sautéed greens, fresh herbs, and a splash of lemon. Nutritious and full of flavor!
Ingredients
- 2–3 cups broccoli (from one head)
- 2 cups cauliflower (about half a head)
- 1 zucchini
- 1/2 medium yellow onion or 1 small yellow onion
- 1 cup kale
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, packed
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt, more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3–4 cups vegetable broth, more as needed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roughly chop the broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and onion.
2. Place the chopped vegetables on the sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until tender and slightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
4. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the kale with a little olive oil for a couple of minutes until it begins to soften. Add the spinach and continue cooking until both greens are wilted.
5. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the roasted vegetables, sautéed greens, fresh parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, vegetable broth, and coconut milk (if using).
6. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more broth for a thinner consistency.
7. Transfer the blended soup to a large pot and heat over medium until it begins to bubble, then reduce to medium-low and simmer until warmed through.
8. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
This soup is a great way to boost your immune system with leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables. Feel free to skip the coconut milk for a lighter version. Leftovers store well in the fridge and taste even better the next day.
