1 big head of broccoli, cut in florets

3-4 potatoes

1 large or 2 small onions

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 litre of vegetable stock

2 handfulls of frsh spinach

1 handfull of fresh parsley

Salt & pepper to taste

To make this broccoli soup, start by finely chopping the onion and placing it in a large pot with some oil over medium heat. Cook the onions until soft. While the onions are cooking, peel and cube the potatoes. Once the onions are soft, add the garlic and cook for another minute. Next, add the potatoes and cook until they start to gain some color, which usually takes about five minutes. Then add the broccoli and cook for an additional minute or two. It’s important to add the broccoli last because the longer you cook it, the more nutrients it loses. Pour vegetable stock over the vegetables in the pot and let it boil until the broccoli is soft, which usually takes about five minutes. As soon as the broccoli is softened, remove the pot from heat and add spinach and parsley. Immediately blend the mixture with a hand blender to prevent the spinach from wilting and the soup from turning a darker color. This recipe yields about four portions, and it’s vegan, gluten-free, and a perfect option for a quick and filling meal. Additionally, it’s an excellent way to sneak more veggies into the diet of picky eater

Serve with some home made bread or a nice garlic baguette(gluten-free if you prefer) and enjoy!
