Ingredients
- 2 cups of spinach
- 1 cup of kale, chopped
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup of vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1 cup of chopped kale, 1 ripe avocado, 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Wash the spinach and kale thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
- Peel and chop the garlic clove into small pieces to release its flavor more effectively.
- In a medium-sized pot, add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Once the broth is simmering, add the chopped garlic to the pot and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- Next, add the washed spinach and chopped kale to the pot. Stir well to combine with the garlic and broth, allowing the greens to wilt and soften for about 3-4 minutes.
- While the greens are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
- Once the greens are tender, carefully transfer the contents of the pot (broth, garlic, spinach, and kale) into the blender with the avocado.
- Add the coconut milk and lemon juice to the blender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
- Once blended to your liking, pour the soup back into the pot and heat gently over low heat for a few minutes to warm it up if needed.
- Serve the Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious meal!
