Broccoli & Spinach Soup

Organic Broccoli & Spinach Soup

2 Large Heads of Organic Broccoli, cut off of woody part of stem

1/2 Large Organic Sweet Onion, peeled and roughly chopped

1 Heaping Tbsp. of Organic Garlic, chopped

4 Packed Cups of Organic Spinach

1/2 Packed Cup of Organic Parsley

About 1 Tbsp. Thyme Leaves, woody stems removed

2 Cups of Cashew Milk or Almond Milk

1 Cup Organic Chicken Broth

1 Tbsp. Bacon Fat

About 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Place broccoli in pan with steamer and steam until tender.

While broccoli is cooling, add bacon fat and olive oil to a large skillet and heat.

Saute onions and garlic until they both begin to carmelize.

Add the spinach, parsley, and thyme.

Toss until spinach and parsley are wilted.

Add milk and chicken broth and stir to de-glaze pan.

Place 1/2 of the steamed broccoli into a food processor and process until broccoli is “smooth”.

Using a ladle, pour 1/2 of the milk mixture into the broccoli mixture and process until “smooth”. If you want it very smooth, without texture, you could blend it in a Vita Mix or heavy-duty blender. Pour the processed mixture into a large pot. Repeat the steps again, add salt and pepper, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Garnish with parsley and thinly sliced bell pepper. Serve hot or cold.
