Recipe
Instructions:
In a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm coconut oil until glistening.
Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently; onions will have softened.
Add garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly; garlic will be fragrant.
Add asparagus, broccoli, red pepper, sea salt, black pepper and chicken stock.
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Turn burner off.
Add spinach, stir and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Puree the soup in a blender in small batches OR use a puree stick to blend.
* Both the florets and the stalk of the broccoli may be used. Simply cut off the bottom 1″ of the stock and peel the outer layer with a vegetable peeler. Chop and add to the soup with the florets.
