20 min | 15 min | 4 |
2 medium leek(s) | Leek (chopped) |
1 medium | Yellow onion (chopped) |
2 tbsp | Avocado oil (or olive oil) |
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 avocado oil & pinch of sea salt for 10-15 minutes on medium-heat until soft. (Optional add-in - chicken breast cut in small pieces and cooked with above.)
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 how our bodies feel on a cold snowy winter day.
Vegetable Broth Shopping
Read the label carefully as most brands add in sugar.
The Pacific brand (see below) is what I get and it has no added sugar.
I highly recommend purchasing the organic broth.
