Ingredients

  • 6 chopped green onions for a burst of freshness,
  • 2 chopped garlic scapes for a unique twist,
  • ½ cup of olive oil to enhance flavors,
  • 1 head of lettuce, gently separated into individual leaves,
  • 1 bunch of vibrant rainbow chard, trimmed and washed with care,
  • 1 bunch of kale with stems removed for a delightful crunch,
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth for a nourishing base,
  • 1 tablespoon of dried savory and marjoram each for rich aroma,
  • Season with a perfect balance of salt and freshly ground black pepper,
  • For the topping:
  • 1 cup of creamy Greek yogurt,
  • Enhance with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

Step 1

Blend the vibrant green onions and aromatic garlic scapes in a food processor until smooth.

Step 2

In a spacious soup pot, gently warm up some oil over low heat. Toss in the fragrant mixture of onions and garlic, allowing it to gently cook until it turns slightly dry, for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare a blend of fresh lettuce, nutrient-packed chard, and hearty kale in the food processor. Add this vibrant mix to the pot and sauté for an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, seasoning it with a touch of savory, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer until the kale and chard have softened beautifully, which should take around 40 to 45 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine creamy Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of zesty Italian seasoning. To serve, ladle the nourishing soup into individual bowls, each adorned with a generous dollop of the delightful yogurt topping.
