Ayurvedic Green Soup

A warming, healing soup with anti-inflammatory spices and nourishing greens.

Ingredients

  • 1 quart veggie broth
  • 12 oz broccoli, chopped
  • 2-3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2-3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric, plus extra for serving
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice, for serving
  • Red pepper flakes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring (1 quart) vegetable broth to a boil with (1 tsp) turmeric and (1/2 tsp) black pepper.

  2. Add (2-3 stalks) chopped celery and (12 oz) chopped broccoli. Let them get soft, about 5 minutes or less.

  3. Add (2-3 cups) fresh spinach and just let it wilt.

  4. Take the pan off heat and ladle everything into a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.

  5. To serve, pour a portion into a pot, thin it out with water if needed, and heat through.

  6. Top with fresh lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and extra turmeric.

Notes

  • The turmeric and black pepper combination enhances absorption of curcumin
  • Can be stored and reheated — thin with water as needed
  • Great for supporting digestion and reducing inflammation
