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.
