I somehow bought an excessive amount of broccoli and spinach. Intending to make my favorite vegetable soup but feel inspired to try something different. I found this recipe on MarthaStewart.com and thought it sounded delicious. As usual, I made my own tweaks and changes but I stayed really true to the recipe. It is a really green soup (perfect for St. Patrick’s Day), and delicious!
Broccoli and Spinach Soup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (I used a basil infused olive oil)
- 1 large white onion (you could also use a leek)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
- 6 cups of chopped broccoli, chopped
- 6 cups of raw baby spinach
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add stock; bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook, covered, until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in spinach, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and tahini. Let cool slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Serve with a lemon wedge, or fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
YUMMY !!
it’s a soup for me :)
I looooooove broccoli and spinach
I’d only replace the chicken broth to vegetable broth (I’m vegetarian), but I’d love to try your recipe
Winnie – you’ll have to tell me what you think of the recipe when you make it.
