Green Goddess Immune-Boosting Soup Recipe
Try this warming vegan soup to boost your immunity at any time of the year.
Ingredients
- 1 head of fresh Broccoli, chopped into forests (about 3 cups)
- 1 small bunch of Kale, stripped of the thick stem and roughly chopped (about 5 sprigs)
- 1 (5 oz.) bag of Baby Spinach
- 1 tablespoon of Coconut or Olive Oil
- 1 medium sized Onion, diced
- 3 fat cloves of Garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon of ground Cumin
- ½ teaspoon of Paprika
- 6 cups of Vegetable Stock
- 2 cups of Full Fat Coconut Milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Wash the broccoli, kale, and spinach and keep aside.
Turn the Instant Pot on the “Sauté” mode, and add the oil, onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt and pepper and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions caramelize.
Turn off the “Sauté” function. Add the broccoli and kale and the vegetable stock. Put the lid on, making sure that the pressure valve is in the “Sealing” position.
Select the “Pressure Cook” mode and adjust the time, with the “ – / + ” to 5 minutes.
When the Instant Pot beeps, use the “Quick release” function to let release the pressure. Use a thick kitchen towel while releasing the pressure to avoid burning yourself with the steam as it’s released.
Add the bag of baby spinach to the broccoli and mix it in. The steam will be enough to wilt the spinach.
Now blend the soup either by using an immersion blender or regular blender. If using a regular blender, be careful as the soup will be very hot.
Return the soup to the instant pot. Turn on the “Sauté” mode.
Add the coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Also, check for seasoning and adjust the salt and pepper accordingly.
Serve hot with a drizzle of thick coconut milk or coconut cream and some sliced nuts for texture (optional).
Notes
- There can be a lot of variation in this soup. You can use collard green or chard instead or kale and spinach or even substitute cauliflower for broccoli.
