My super green power soup

This really is power in a bowl. With a high vitamin B and magnesium content, this soup really helps to control energy levels. It also has powerful antioxidant properties, making it a total winner and it’s totally delicious too.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 stick of celery, roughly chopped
  • 5 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 green chilli, seeds removed, roughly chopped
  • 75g broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 75g green beans, roughly chopped
  • 75g frozen peas (or fresh in the summer)
  • 1 green courgette, roughly chopped
  • 40g spinach leaves
  • 40g watercress leaves
  • 75g curly kale
  • Parsley stalks (you can save the leaves for other recipes)
  • 1 litre of vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper

Method:

  • Heat the coconut oil in a pan. Once melted, add the onion, celery, garlic and chilli and soften for approximately 10 minutes (until cooked but not brown).
  • Add the stock along with the broccoli, green beans, peas, courgette and seasoning and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the kale and parsley stalks and simmer for a further 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the spinach and mix through to just wilt the leaves.
  • Cool the soup slightly before blending in a liquidiser until smooth.
  • To serve, pour the soup back into a pan and bring up to temperature, checking the seasoning. Pour into soup bowls and enjoy!

* Take special care when liquidising the soup if it is still hot.
