Ingredients
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup kale
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1 cup of kale, 1 inch of ginger (grated), 1 onion (chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 4 cups of vegetable broth, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Next, add the grated ginger to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute, allowing the ginger to release its aromatic flavor.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once the broth is boiling, add the chopped kale to the pot. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the kale is tender.
- After the kale has softened, add the fresh spinach to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
- Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- Once blended, return the soup to the pot (if using a regular blender) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Heat the soup gently over low heat for a few minutes if needed, then serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Green Soup with Ginger!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Greens: For the most vibrant flavor and maximum nutrition, use the freshest spinach and kale you can find. Organic greens will elevate your soup's taste and health benefits.
- Ginger Technique: Grate your ginger fresh for the most potent flavor. Pro tip: Freeze your ginger root to make grating easier and prevent fiber strings.
- Blending Secrets: For the smoothest texture, use an immersion blender directly in the pot. If using a standard blender, blend in small batches and be careful with hot liquids.
- Flavor Boosting: Don't be shy with seasoning. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to bring out the soup's full potential.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This soup keeps wonderfully in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep and quick, nutritious lunches.
- Optional Garnish: Consider topping with a swirl of coconut cream, some toasted pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra complexity.
