Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 10 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped celery, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach leaves and stir continuously until they are wilted, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and let the mixture come to a simmer.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender, in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth.
Return the pureed soup to the pot over low heat.
Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, black pepper, and salt, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Serve hot, with a sprinkle of additional black pepper if desired.
