GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil until until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 30 minutes more.
• Pour vegetable broth into a pot and place over medium heat. Add rice and minced garlic; stir in kale and spinach, adding more broth if necessary. Add onions to the pot. Allow the greens to reduce and rice to fully cook, about 45 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to blend to desired consistency. Add goat cheese and use the blender again to create a creamy texture. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

HEALING GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add green beans, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, celery, broccoli, kale, spinach, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour water and tomato sauce over the vegetables. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are soft and flavors combine, about 2 hours.

GREAT GREEN BLENDER SOUP AND CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Drain the spinach through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently to remove most of the water and transfer it along with the peas to a blender.
• Meanwhile, pour the vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the green onions, season with salt and pepper and cook just until bright green and starting to lightly color, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the garlic, allowing the residual heat from the pan to lightly cook the garlic for about 30 seconds. Transfer to the blender. Add the herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice and 3 cups of the hot broth.
• Place the lid on the blender, remove the vent cap, cover with a kitchen towel and blend on high until smooth. Add in the Pecorino cheese, if using. Season to taste with more salt, pepper and lemon juice. For a thinner soup, add more stock. Blend to combine.
• Serve as is topped with sour cream, yogurt or crème fraîche and Pecorino cheese, if using. This soup can also be served chilled or heated to a higher temperature (though additional heating might tone down the bright green color).
• Combine the cream and buttermilk in a glass jar and cover with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel affixed with a rubber band. Leave the mixture out on the counter at room temperature, undisturbed, for 12 to 24 hours, until thick. Stir and cover with an airtight lid and transfer to the fridge until ready to use for up to 10 days. Feel free to up the flavor by stirring in some lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper or finely chopped herbs just before serving.

GREEN ON GREEN PASTA SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat the vegetable oil. Add the leeks, cover and cook for a couple of minutes until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cabbage, 1 cup of the water, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the cabbage has wilted. Add the remaining water, zucchini and green beans, cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are somewhat tender. Add the pasta, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender. (At this point check the level of liquid; if the soup seems somewhat thick, just add more water to bring the level of the liquid back up to where it was at the beginning of cooking time.) Add the peas and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to heat through. Season carefully with salt and pepper. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs. Serve with 1 or 2 of the garnishes, according to taste.

IMMUNITY BOOSTING GREEN SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until very fragrant but not browned.
• Add the oregano, parsley, cayenne, turmeric, black pepper, and soy sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, until the herbs begin to wilt.
• Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and beginning to release some moisture, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broccoli starts to soften.
• Add the Swiss chard and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds. Add the baby spinach, a few handfuls at a time. Cook until just wilted and stir to incorporate into the soup before adding more. Once the spinach is wilted and the broccoli stems can be easily pierced with a fork, remove the soup from the heat. It is important not to overcook the greens, as they will begin to lose their vibrant color and nutrients.
• Cool the soup for 15 minutes, until it can be safely transferred to a high-speed blender, if using. With a standing blender or immersion blender, puree the soup briefly to combine, then add the avocado, lemon juice, and salt and blend until creamy, with no lumps remaining.
• Enjoy the soup hot or cold, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds and parsley, if desired.
• Enjoy!

EASY GREEN VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
• Add the peas and bring back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tbsp of the peas and set aside for the garnish.
• Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan, then carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to blitz it until it's very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
• Ladle into bowls, then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter over your favourite soft herbs or cress. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

GREAT GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the leek, broccoli, cucumber, peas, potatoes, parsley, watercress, cabbage and stock. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Strain the soup, and reserve the liquid in the saucepan. In a food processor, puree the vegetables with a little of the reserved liquid. Whisk the puree into the reserved liquid, or pass everything through the medium disk of a food mill and return to the pan. Season with salt and vinegar. Allow the soup to sit for a few hours.
• Stir in the basil and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 1 minute.

Stir in garlic, salt, dried herbs and pepper; cook about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Add beans and broth. Increase heat to high; heat to simmering. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in baby greens; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until greens are tender.
• Meanwhile, place baguette slices on pan; brush with remaining 4 teaspoons oil. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned.
• To serve, divide soup among bowls; top with Parmesan cheese, and serve with baguette.

PORTUGUESE GREEN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is soft and golden , about 5 minutes. Add collard greens and sauté until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add sausage and sauté 5 minutes. Add broth and potatoes. Simmer soup uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer 2 cups soup (without sausage) to processor. Blend until smooth; return to pot of soup and bring to simmer. Mix in crushed red pepper. Season with salt and black pepper.

SUPER HEALTHY 'GREEN' SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium heat on the stove. Add some olive oil, the garlic, chilli and leek (or onion, if using). Saute gently for 2 minutes. Do not allow leek to change colour; remember the soup is a 'green' soup so the vegetables should stay as green as possible - we don't want them browned!
• Add the celery and saute gently for another 2 minutes.
• Add broccoli, zucchini and capsicum, stirring all ingredients together. Saute gently for approximately 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly. Use your best judgement at this point; vegetables should be softened but not mushy, and they should not be changing colour.
• Add chicken stock, water and lemon juice and seeded mustard. Cover pot and bring to boil. Allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until vegetables are soft but not disintegrating.
• Puree the soup well, using either a stick blender or carefully blending batches in a food processor. If soup is too thick, add more water until you achieve the consistency you prefer.
• Once pureed, transfer soup back to pot and add lentils (if using). Bring to boil and simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary (I never add salt but some might feel it is necessary to put some in).
• Enjoy!
