Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 pound broccoli florets (about 4 cups)
  • 1 pound zucchini roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill loosely packed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk from a can, shaken well
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • Plain Greek yogurt optional for serving
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds optional for serving

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • High-powered blender or immersion blender

Method
 

  1. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 large yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic, 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  2. Add the broccoli florets and chopped zucchini to the pot. Stir well to coat them with the olive oil and aromatics. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.

  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork.
    4 cups vegetable broth
  4. Stir in the fresh spinach, parsley, and dill. Cook for just 1–2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. The residual heat will gently cook these fresh greens without overdoing them.
    1 cup fresh spinach, 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup fresh dill
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a high-powered blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Add the full-fat coconut milk and lemon juice. Blend until the soup is completely smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids; fill the blender only halfway and hold the lid down with a kitchen towel.

  6. Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a regular blender). Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Gently heat the soup over low heat if needed, but do not boil. Ladle the Anti-Inflammatory Green Goddess Soup into bowls. Garnish with a swirl of plain Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.
