Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 chopped celery stalk
- 1 large, chopped zucchini
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups spinach leaves
- 4 cups bone broth (or vegetable broth for a vegan option)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 sliced avocado (optional for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped celery, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped zucchini and broccoli florets to the pot, stirring to combine.
Pour in the bone broth (or vegetable broth) and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
Stir in the spinach leaves and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Transfer the soup to a blender in batches, or use an immersion blender, to puree the soup until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, slices of avocado, and pumpkin seeds if desired.
