Super Greens Soup - Real Recipes from Mums

Struggling to get green veggies into your family’s diet?

This delicious winter warming soup is a quick, easy, healthy (and sneaky!) way of getting in a whole feast of super greens and they’ll love it! I often throw a bit of shaved parmasen over the top for an extra tasty treat.

It’s also packed with folate and essential nutrients for all those Mum’s to be.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

1 broccoli, cut into florets
1 zucchini, diced into 1cm cubes
1 small bunch green asparagus, chopped into 2cm pieces
1 carrot, sliced
2 bok choy, roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated
2cm piece ginger, grated
4 shallots, coarsely diced
1 leek, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
500ml vegetable stock
3 bay leaves
tbsp parsley
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil and chopped sweet basil to serve

Method

1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add garlic, shallots, leek and celery and sauté for about 1 minute.

3. Add remaining vegetables and herbs and sauté for about a minute then add vegetable stock. Bring to the boil then simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

4. Season with salt and pepper and remove bay leaves

5. Set aside to cool then place soup in the blender and puree until smooth.

6. Serve with a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil topped with pinch of chopped sweet basil.

  I think my kids would give it a go, but they wouldn’t be pleased with the chopped sweet basil on top

Thanks for sharing your recipe – this soup sounds really wonderful for me, however I think that if I put all these veg through the Nutribullet without any extra liquid – I could serve this as the next salad for my husband who has difficulty swallowing food and must limit his liquid intake.

Wow! That is definitely a lot of greens!!!
I may have to leave out some of the bay leaves though as I find it to be quite an overpowering flavour.
Thank you so much for sharing.

what a delicious soup. I love my greens and my kids love broccoli so I could just tell them it’s broccoli soup!

Wow, that’s a great way to include a lot of greens. I’m going to make chow mein tonight and include broccoli, beans, green capsicum and some spinach for more greens. I do love this soup option and would be prepared to try it. I’ve taken a liking to a smoothie with some added greens, so could imagine this soup would work for me too.
