Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 cups kale leaves, roughly chopped (stems removed)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • ½ cup green peas (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, and ground cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add broccoli florets, diced zucchini, kale, spinach, and green peas if using. Stir well, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until greens are tender but still vibrant.
  5. Using an immersion blender, puree half of the soup in the pot for a creamy texture with some chunks. Alternatively, blend half in a regular blender and return to pot.
  6. Stir in ½ cup coconut milk and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Warm through for another 2 minutes.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Do not blend all the greens completely to keep some texture. Add turmeric early during sautéing to bloom its flavors. Watch garlic carefully to avoid bitterness. For richer soup, add coconut milk or plain yogurt before serving. Prep veggies while sautéing aromatics to save time. Adjust salt and lemon juice to brighten flavors. Can substitute kale with Swiss chard or collard greens. For protein boost, add cooked chickpeas or white beans at the end.
