Equipment
- stockpot or saucepan
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander stalks
- ½ tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 1 small size onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium size zucchini, chopped
- 1 Cup broccoli florets
- ¼ Cup green peas
- 1 ¼ Cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- crushed black pepper or to taste
- 1 Cup baby spinach leaves
- ¼ Cup coconut milk
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the spinach or other greens you are adding. It wilts quickly, so you only need to cook them for about 1 minute.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve green goddess soup warm garnished with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of seeds/nuts for added texture.

Notes
- Instead of water you can use vegetable stock as a cooking liquid. Use homemade, low sodium stock for this healthy soup.
- This soup involves lot of green vegetables hence do not cook or blend it for too long. Else, it will turn black and bitter.
- If you are not a fan of coconut milk, add a diced potato with vegetables for that delicious creaminess and natural thickness.
