How To Make Green Goddess Soup
Sauté the aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, ginger, celery, thyme, coriander stalks, and onion.
- Saute until it becomes aromatic, about 1 minute.
Cook the vegetables:
- Add the chopped zucchini, green peas, and broccoli to the pot.
- Stir to coat the vegetables in the oil and aromatics.
- Pour in the water, season, and cover the pot with a lid.
- Simmer over low heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the green leafs:
- Stir in the spinach or other greens you are adding.
- It wilts quickly, so you only need to cook them for about 1 minute.
Blend the soup:
- Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, work in batches to avoid spills.
Add creaminess:
- Stir in the coconut milk or plant-based milk of your choice.
- Heat the soup gently over low heat. Add a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Finally, stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavours.
My Tried and True Tips
- Customizable Greens: You can easily swap out or add other greens like Swiss chard, collard greens, basil, or kale depending on what you have on hand.
- Protein Boost: For extra protein, add a can of drained and rinsed white beans or chickpeas before blending. You could also top the soup with some toasted nuts or seeds.
- Creaminess: Add diced potato while cooking the vegetables. It gives soup a delicious thickness and creaminess.
- Storage: This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Just reheat it gently on the stove, adding more broth if it thickens too much.
- Serving Ideas: Pair this soup with a crusty whole-grain bread or a side potato salad for a complete meal.

Recipe Notes:
