Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 medium zucchini
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups spinach leaves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Peel and dice the onion, then sauté in the pot for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Mince the garlic and add it to the pot. Cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Chop the zucchini into chunks and add them to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the broccoli florets and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup for 2-3 minutes if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy!
