2 medium leek(s) | Leek (chopped) |
1 medium | Yellow onion (chopped) |
2 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil) |
1 can (15oz) | Cannellini beans, canned (Pour bean liquid down the drain & throughly rinse the beans) |
1 head | Broccoli, raw (largely chopped) |
1 medium head | Cauliflower (largely chopped) |
2 cup | Brussels sprouts (If larger cut in half) |
2 cup | Vegetable stock/broth, low sodium (See note in cooking instructions!!) |
1/2 cup | Lemon juice |
2 tbsp hulled | Hemp seeds, shelled (optional) |
1/2 bunch | Cilantro (coriander) (chopped (or use parsley) |
1 clove(s) | Garlic (If you love garlic you may want to use 2 cloves) |
1 pinch | Sea Salt (or to taste) |
Fry up the leeks, onion, and garlic in the oil & pinch of sea salt for 10-15 minutes on medium heat until soft. Add in the cannellini beans, stir & cook for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly steam the broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts for the same amount of time.
Now blend up everything with veggie broth, hemp seeds, lemon juice, and fresh cilantro in a high-powdered blender, food processor or with an immersion blender.
You can enjoy this soup warm (in which case take a portion & heat it back up), room temperature, or even cold if you are in a pinch! Cold foods are harder to digest as they make our insides tight like the way our bodies feel on a cold snowy winter day.
Vegetable Broth Shopping - Read the label carefully as most brands add sugar. The Pacific Foods brand has sugar free organic broths.
