Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large zucchini, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Greens & Herbs

  • 5 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Greek yogurt (optional, for garnish)
  • Pumpkin or sunflower seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil: Place a large pot over medium heat and warm the olive oil until shimmering.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Then add the chopped zucchini and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  3. Add broth and simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Wilt spinach: Add the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Then remove the pot from the heat to prevent overcooking the greens.
  5. Blend soup: Add the fresh basil leaves, parsley, and ripe avocado to the pot. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until completely smooth and silky. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until creamy.
  6. Season and adjust: Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed to balance the flavors.
  7. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish optionally with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of pumpkin or sunflower seeds for added creaminess and crunch. Serve warm or chilled according to your preference.

Notes

  • You can substitute the vegetable broth with chicken broth if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, omit the Greek yogurt garnish or use a dairy-free alternative.
  • The soup can be served hot right away or chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold soup option.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • If the soup is too thick after blending, add a splash of broth or water to reach desired consistency.
