Really Simple Healthy Green Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
• Add the peas and bring back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tbsp of the peas and set aside for the garnish.
• Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan, then carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to blitz it until it's very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
• Ladle into bowls, then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter over your favourite soft herbs or cress. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter together in a dutch oven.
• Add chopped leeks, saute 2 minutes.
• Add chopped zucchini and broccoli; saute 5 minutes.
• Add spinach, saute until wilted.
• Add salt, pepper, garlic and thyme; saute 1 minute.
• Add chicken broth, simmer 10 minutes (or until all veggies are very tender).
• Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Pour into blender in batches and puree until smooth.
• Serve immediately (can be garnished with parmesan cheese if desired) or refrigerate and reheat as needed.
• The flavor of this soup improves overnight.
• Can easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
