Soup
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 medium leeks chopped
- 2 parsnips peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds broccoli trimmed and chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh marjoram
- 5 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 2 cups packed spinach
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, leeks, and garlic and sauté until softened.
- Add the next five ingredients to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until broccoli and parsnips are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in spinach and lemon zest.
- Remove from heat. Using a submersion blender, puree soup carefully until very smooth. Alternatively, you can do this in batches in a blender, being careful because the soup is very hot.
- Return to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through and then serve.
