kcalA rich and velvety soup made with tender broccoli and a creamy, flavorful broth for a comforting dish.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp coconut or extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
4 cups Cleansing Broth
1 head broccoli, trimmed and chopped (about 6 cups)
3 cups baby spinach
1 avocado, chopped, plus more for garnish
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the coconut oil (or olive oil) over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Broccoli: Pour in the Cleansing Broth and add the chopped broccoli. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
- Blend the Soup: Add the baby spinach and chopped avocado to the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
- Season: Taste the soup and season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with additional avocado slices if desired.
