Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup parsley
- 1 avocado, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and parsley, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
- Once the soup is blended, return it to the pot over low heat. Add the diced avocado and stir gently to combine. Allow the soup to warm through for a few minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
- Serve the Vegan Green Goddess Soup hot, garnished with additional diced avocado or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onion and garlic in advance. You can also wash and dry your greens the night before, making the cooking process even quicker.
- Customize Your Greens: Feel free to experiment with other leafy greens! Kale or Swiss chard can be great alternatives to spinach and parsley, adding their unique flavors and nutrients.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture and leave the rest as is. This will give you a delightful texture while still enjoying the creamy goodness.
- Add More Flavor: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of your favorite hot sauce just before serving.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your presentation by topping the soup with a swirl of coconut cream, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, or even some toasted nuts for added crunch.
- Storage: This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently on the stove and stir in a splash of vegetable broth if it thickens too much.
- Serve with Style: Pair your Vegan Green Goddess Soup with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing.
