Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced

- 4 cups baby spinach
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the diced onion in the olive oil for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
