Green Soup



This is a recipe I made, but did not make up. It came out of Anna Thomas' Love Soup book. I love it because you literally fill up your soup pot with all kinds of delicious, healing greens.

Original Green Soup
1 bunch spinach
1 bunch kale
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. sea salt
2 small Yukon Gold potatoes
1 medium yellow onion
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups veggie broth
cayenne
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
freh ground black pepper
Instructions: Combine all green ingredients with 3 cups of water, salt, and potato. Bring to a boil and then simmer 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, saute onion in 1 Tbsp oil until soft and golden. The longer you cook it the better- at least 20 min. Keep an eye on the onion. You want golden brown, not charred black. Add onion to soup.
Pour 1/2 Tbsp. oil into skillet and saute garlic a couple of minutes. Add this to the pot and simmer 5-10 more minutes.
Puree mixture in an upright blender. Return to the soup pot. Add cayenne and black pepper and lemon juice. Garnish with a drizzle of fresh olive oil and a sprinkling of cheese. Serve with a crust of bread.
