New Year Resolution Soup

Super nutritious, super delicious - warm, cold or hot!

Ingredients

• 1 large leek, chopped white and most of green parts 

• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

• 5 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 medium bulb fennel, chopped

• 1 cup green beans, chopped

• 3 large or 5 narrow ribs celery, chopped

• 1 head broccoli florets

• 6 large leaves lacinato kale, roughly torn (ribs removed)

• 3-4 cups spinach or greens of your choice

• 1 large handful fresh herbs, loosely chopped (I use parsley and basil)

• 2-3 Tbs nutritional yeast

• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in boiling water for 10 min

• Salt to taste

Instructions

• Add ½ cup of water to a large pot and heat until it bubbles

• Then add leeks, onion, and garlic and sauté for about 8 minutes until everything is soft and translucent. Keep adding small amounts of water so nothing burns

• Add fennel, green beans, celery, and broccoli and enough water so the vegetables are well covered

• Lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes but be careful not to overcook the broccoli

• Add kale, spinach and nutritional yeast and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes

• Turn off heat, stir in the fresh herbs and allow to cool a few minutes

• Add the drained cashews and puree the soup in batches, adding salt to taste

Notes

• Serves 8

• Freezes well
