Green Goddess Immune Soup
Green
Goddess Immune Soup ~ this nourishing soup is the equivalent in cold weather of
your powerful smoothie. It's a vibrant soup filled with everything you need to
get through cold and flu season without so much sniffing.
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon of Paprika
- 1 tablespoon of Coconut or Olive Oil
- 1 head of fresh Broccoli, chopped into forests (about 3 cups)
- 1 small bunch of Kale, stripped of the thick stem and roughly chopped (about 5 sprigs)
- ½ teaspoon of ground Cumin
- 6 cups of Vegetable Stock
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 medium sized Onion, diced
- 1 (5 oz.) bag of Baby Spinach
- 3 fat cloves of Garlic, minced
- 2 cups of Full Fat Coconut Milk
Instructions
First, wash
broccoli, kale and spinach and set aside
Then, put
the instant pot (IP) in "Sauté" mode, add the oil, onions, garlic,
cumin and paprika and salt and pepper and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until the
onions caramelize.
Deactivate
the "Skip" function. Add broccoli and kale and vegetable broth.
Replace the cover, making sure the pressure valve is in the "Sealing"
position.
Select the
“Pressure Cook” mode and adjust the time, with the “- / +” at 5 minutes.
When Instant
Pot beeps, use the "quick release" method to let the pressure go. Use
a thick cloth while releasing the pressure or you could burn yourself from the
stream.
Add the bag
of spinach to the broccoli and mix it. The stream will be enough to wilt the
spinach.
Now mix the
soup using an immersion blender or an ordinary blender. If you are using an
ordinary blender, be careful as the contents will be very hot.
Return the
soup to the instant pan. Activate the "Sauté" mode.
Add the
coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Also check the seasoning and adjust the
salt and pepper accordingly.
Serve hot
with a drizzle of thick milk or coconut cream and sliced nuts for texture
(optional). Happy Cooking Time.
