Creamed Broccoli & Spinach Soup
Ingredients
1 bag Taylor Farms Baby Spinach
2–3 tablespoons avocado or other neutral cooking oil, divided
255g Broccoli florets
1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
3–4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Salt and pepper
Juice of 1/2 a small lemon, optional
Plain yogurt for serving, optional
Good olive oil, for drizzling
Directions
Preheat oven to 200C. Place broccoli florets, chopped onion, and garlic onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1–2 tablespoons of oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
Place pan into the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, just until broccoli is lightly browned.
Drizzle remaining tablespoon of oil into a large soup pot. Add potatoes and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the roasted broccoli, onions, garlic from the pan and enough broth to cover, about 2–3 cups.
Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10–15 minutes. Turn off the stove. Add spinach and stir to wilt. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
Place soup mixture into a high powered blender or use an immersion blender to blend until creamy. Add additional broth, if necessary, to blend. Stir in lemon juice, to taste.
Pour soup into bowls and swirl in plain yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil.
