Broccoli Spinach Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp of coconut oil
• 1 medium broccoli, chopped
• 2 sprigs of celery, cut in slices
• 1 large onion, diced
• 4 cloves of garlic, chopped roughly
• 2 tsp tumeric
• 3 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• large handful of chopped (fresh) spinach
• 1 liter of vegetable stock or chicken stock
• 4 bay leaves
• 100 ml coconut milk
• some feta cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1.  Put the coconut oil in to a large pot on the stove. As soon as the oil is hot enough, add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a short while. Add the ground spices and bake until fragrant.

 2.  Add the celery and broccoli.  (It helps to have these chopped in advance.)

3.  Stir and add the vegetable stock.

3.  Add the bay leaves.

4.  Bring to the boil and turn down the heat. Let it simmer until the broccoli is cooked (about 10-15 minutes). Add the spinach at the last minute.

5.  Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and puree the soup.  An immersion blender works great for this and if you don't have one, they are only like $25 on Amazon!

6.  Serve with a bit of coconut milk, and sprinkle with feta cheese.
