Ultimate Green Cleansing Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of fragrant olive oil
• 1 ½ cups of tender, chopped fennel
• 1 ⅓ cups of thinly sliced leeks
• 1 ¼ cups of diced celery
• 2 cloves of garlic, gently smashed
• 1 zucchini (about 10 ounces), cut into cubes
• 1 package of fresh spinach (about 10 ounces)
• Half a bag of fresh broccoli florets (about 12 ounces)
• 6 leaves of Tuscan kale, with ribs removed and finely chopped
• ¼ cup of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 4 cups of vegetable broth with low sodium
• 2 cups of hot water, as required
• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 1 teaspoon of nutritious spirulina powder
• 10 tablespoons of gomasio (sesame seeds toasted and crushed)

Step 1

Warm up a pot with some oil on medium heat. Toss in a delightful mix of fennel, leeks, celery, and garlic; cook until they become tender and release their delightful aroma, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Next, introduce zucchini, spinach, broccoli, kale, and parsley to the mix, allowing them to mingle and dance together. Let them cook until the kale and spinach gently start to wilt, around 3 minutes or so.

Step 2

Pour in vegetable broth and let it reach a bubbling boil. Lower the heat and let the pot simmer, covered, until all the veggies are tender and bursting with flavor, approximately 15 minutes. Once done, take it off the heat. Grab your immersion blender and puree the soup until it turns into a velvety smooth texture, adjusting with a splash of hot water if needed. Now, add in the avocado and a sprinkle of energizing spirulina powder, blending until everything is beautifully combined.

Step 3

Finally, serve this vibrant soup in bowls, each adorned with a touch of gomasio for that extra kick of flavor. Enjoy this nutritious and delicious meal!
