1 Tbsp. grape-seed oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
2 cups coarsely chopped celery
4 cups broccoli florets
1 medium-size zucchini, coarsely chopped
2 cups baby spinach
4 cups water
1 Tbsp. Himalayan pink salt
Pepper to taste
1 Heat the grape-seed oil in a large soup pot. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté until the vegetables are slightly tender.
2 Add the broccoli, zucchini, spinach, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat until all the vegetables are soft but not overcooked. They should still be vibrant green.
3 Turn the heat off. Scoop half of the soup mixture into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl. Repeat with the remaining soup.
4 Pour all the blended soup back into the soup pot. Reheat to desired temperature and serve.
You can mix other vegetables into this recipe, too. Sometimes we substitute 2 cups cauliflower for half the broccoli. We also substitute kale or chard for the spinach when we feel like it. Use your imagination!
