Anti-Inflammatory Cream of Green Soup
If you are feeling a little under the weather this soup is the perfect prescription for health (along with a lot of sleep and vitamin C).
Provided by Helayne Waldman
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee
- 1 large onion
- 4 cups fresh green veggies: any combination of broccoli, asparagus, green beans, chard
- 2 cups organic chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup organic coconut milk
- 2 tsp curry powder (or more if desired)
- 2-4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp ground ginger (or fresh)
- sea salt and red pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, squeezed
-
Heat coconut oil or ghee in a soup pot.
-
Saute onion. Here you can add any starter veggies you have on hand like leeks, carrots, celery (it is a good way to clean out the frig).
-
Add garlic to the pot (don't add early or it will burn).
-
Add broth to the pan.
-
Add your green veggies (broccoli florets, asparagus, green beans, chard or any desired greens).
-
Once those are softened, I add 1/2 to 1 full can of coconut milk, curry and sea salt, and lemon to taste.
-
Simmer for 20 minutes.
-
Once all veggies are soft add in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
