Souper Food Soup

( Serves 2)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of fresh kale, chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped
• 1 garlic clove smashed and kept whole
• 1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 tablespoon for drizzling
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 4 cups water or vegetable stock
• Sea salt

Instructions:

1. Wash the vegetables in clear water, dry and chop them roughly.
2. In a deep pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil with the garlic clove whole on a very low fire.
3. When the oil is hot and infused with the garlic, discard the clove. Add the vegetables, a generous pinch of salt and stir well to coat them in the oil.
4. Allow the vegetables to cook down and release their moisture, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups of water or vegetable stock, when half has been absorbed add the remaining 2 cups. Close the pot and simmer until all vegetables are tender. When cooked thoroughly, make sure there is enough cooking liquid to form a “soup” otherwise add a little more water. Transfer the soup to a food processor and mix until smooth.
5. Serve the soup with a drizzle of olive oil and some paprika to taste.
6. Optionally, customize with toppings right for your type like sour cream, kale chips, seeds or homemade croutons.
