Hearty Green Soup
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 bag spinach
- 1 bunch kale, cleaned and chopped
- 5 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 small potatoes, diced
- 3-4 cups vegetable broth
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2-3 splashes sriracha sauce
- In your soup pot, saute the onion in a tablespoon or two of oil on medium heat. Let them sweat a bit. Once translucent, add the crushed garlic and stir the pot so to speak.
- Add your hearty greens, potato, salt and stir as best as you can because the pot will be quite full. The greens will wilt and I like to distribute the onion and garlic among the leaves. Once sufficiently mixed, add the water. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat to low for about a half hour.
- Once the ingredients are soft and completely cooked, add the vegetable broth and bring back to a healthy simmer, about 5-10 minutes. At this point the soup can cool a bit before using the immersion blender or free-standing blender. I like to wait so that it's not boiling hot when I blend. I'm thinking safety only.
- Once blended, add the lemon juice and adjust your seasonings including the sriracha sauce. All to your taste. Soup is ready to go, top with your favorite crouton, cheese or olive oil. Deep green color and deceivingly delicious!
