Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 large celery stalks diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 2 heads broccoli cut into florets
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 5 1/2 cups vegetable broth plus more if needed
  • 1 cup coconut or soy milk
  • 1 cup cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  2. Add the chopped zucchini, broccoli florets, peas, vegetable broth, coconut or soy milk, and cannellini beans to the pot.
  3. First, bring the mixture to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Add the fresh spinach and basil leaves. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  5. Take the pot off the heat. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until it reaches a smooth consistency. If needed, add more stock to thin the soup.
  6. Mix in the lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
