Ingredients
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 cups fresh spinach
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in basil and parsley leaves, allowing the herbs to infuse for 1 minute.
- Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup until smooth and vibrant green using an immersion or countertop blender.
- Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk.
- Warm gently over low heat without boiling.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls and serve warm.
Notes
For extra creaminess, add a potato or ½ cup cooked white beans before blending.
Swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard for a different green flavor.
Top with toasted seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, or coconut cream for garnish.
Store in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently to maintain the soup’s vibrant green color.
