Cleansing Broccoli Soup with Ginger, Mint & Spinach
Serves 2 Ingredients:
1 large head of broccoli, roughly chopped(approx 400g) 1 small brown onion, diced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1/2 bunch of fresh mint, roughly chopped 2 large handfuls of spinach 1/2 cucumber, roughly sliced 1.5 cm of fresh root ginger, grated 3-500ml of organic vegetable stock Himalayan salt & black pepper to taste 1 tbsp coconut or avocado oil
Instructions:
Start by gently sauteeing the onion and garlic in the oil in a large pan for around 2-3 minutes, and then add the chopped broccoli Continue to gently warm through for another 1-2 minutes and then stir in the ginger, mint and pour over the stock – you can start with just 200-300ml and if this covers the broccoli, save the remainder for once you’ve blended it, to get the consistency you want Let this simmer for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli just starts to soften. Transfer everything to a blender, and add the spinach and cucumber (raw), and blend on high speed until everything is completely smooth Add more stock to get the consistency you like and serve with a sprig of mint atop each bowl and a little drizzle of avocado or olive oil |
