Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
2 stalks celery, diced about 1 cup
1 medium onion, diced about 1 cup
4 cloves garlic sliced
1 large head broccoli stems and tops separated. About 6 cups of florets and 2-3 cups of stems
1 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 cups vegetable stock
4-6 cups leafy greens spinach, kale, or swiss chard
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp hemp seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

In a large stockpot over medium heat saute onion, celery, garlic, and broccoli stems for 5 minutes in olive oil. Add turmeric, salt, and pepper. Saute additional 1 minute.
Add stock and broccoli florets, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Add leafy greens and allow to wilt (about 1 minute). (optional: reserve a bit of the wilted greens and broccoli florets for garnish)
Transfer soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) add nutritional yeast and puree until smooth and creamy.
Serve topped with wilted greens and florets and a sprinkle of hemp seeds.

Notes

STORAGE + REHEATING + FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS:

STORAGE - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days (I often fill mason jars with this magic soup for easy to grab goodness)

REHEATING - Reheat in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed throughout. If you must use a microwave, go for it but stovetop is better to help preserve all of the nutrients

FREEZING - Freeze in an airtight container, or mason jar (if using a mason jar fill only 3/4 of the way full, freeze without the top, and then add the top once frozen. Will keep in the fridge for up to 3 months.

DEFROST - Defrost in the fridge overnight, reheat on stovetop. Some natural separation will occur, just stir well when reheating.
