Cuisine: Detox
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon juice to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release the aromatic flavors.
- Add diced zucchini and trimmed green beans to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.
- Pour vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring all vegetables are mostly covered. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer the soup for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
- Add chopped kale and spinach to the soup. Stir and let them wilt into the broth for 2-3 minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
- Remove the pot from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the soup for a bright, fresh finish.
- Let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot as a nutritious, detoxifying meal.
