Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 5 cups vegetable stock
- 2 medium zucchini, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups spinach, packed
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika. Stir the spices into the onion mixture to toast them, about 1 minute.
Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
Add the chopped zucchini and broccoli florets. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt, about 2 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender to purée, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Heat gently to combine the flavors, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if using. Serve warm.
