Green Mushroom & Garlic Soup

Ingredients

• Grab the greens you've got!'

  • Broccoli - up to 1 head

  • Kale - up to 1 bunch My favourite combo is Curly and tuscan

  • Leek - optional

• 2 onions - I like 1 Red & 1 Yellow, but any combo works

• Butter

• Mushrooms - any of button, cup, swiss, brown, white, porcini, portobello - whatever works!

• Coconut cream - 200 ml

• Garlic (or freeze dried when out of season) - 3 cloves

• Stock or bone broth, beef or chicken -2cups

• Lemon - 1/2

• Salt & pepper - to taste

• Toasted pine nuts - to serve

Method

Dice the onions, leek and garlic and and sauté in butter. Chop the mushrooms and add (with a little extra butter if you like)I add salt, pepper and garlic powder if using to taste.

Chop the greens and add to the pot with the stock and coconut cream, squirt in the juice of a lemon and lightly simmer for 10mins.

Let cool and blend! blend the soup in whatever way you wish. I have a hand held soup mixer which I use directly in a large stainless steel pot, missing until its smooth - usually a couple of mins! You can use a food processor, blender, nutribullt.. whatever you have! But I recommend getting a handheld blender - its changed my life, no mess, no fuss and saves LOADS of time!

Honestly it takes 2 mins, then I rise and its done. No transferring batches! Serve into a bowl and top with toasted pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste and a squirt of lemon!

Enjoy!

This is a great way to use up whatever greens you have on hand, especially if the leaves are getting a bit lifeless

It really doesn’t matter which combination you use.

My favourite greens combo in this soup are broccoli, chard, leek & all the kales, but go with what you’ve got

Use amazing stock or bone broth. I think it makes or breaks a soup

Freeze dried garlic powder really takes this soup to the next level
