Creamy (made with NO CREAM) Garlicky Spinach Broccoli Soup made with just handful of ingredients but makes for a super tasty & nourishing lunch or dinner. Serve with some grilled cheese to make a complete meal!
Finally fall is here and this year it has brought with it tons of things to look forward to especially for my family. If you follow me on Instagram ( I share lots of fun stuff, my life and food obviously !) you must already know that I am pregnant with our 2nd baby and due date is almost there! Also Aria has started school this year and we are all getting into a new kind of routine. I have missed her so much in the initial few weeks of school just because she’s gone for solid 7 hours and I only get to spend few hours with her! But on the happy side I am getting back to work slowly but steadily and that’s making me feel really good.
When I see you guys making my recipes, interacting with me on Instagram, asking for help/guidance/just saying hello, it makes my day 🙂
So with the onset of fall, I realised that I had to make one of my current favorite soups and share with you guys! Its really simple, super simple flavors but so darn tasty! Not to mention loaded with spinach & broccoli and even 4 yr old Aria enjoyed it 🙂 Great way to sneak in tons of veggies into your family’s diet.
Let’s make this SOUP ->
As I mentioned, it’s a really simple soup . First I wash a broccoli head, cut in pieces, massage some oil and throw in airfryer to get it slightly charred and cooked. It gives a really nice flavor but you can totally skip it, if you want to. If you don’t want to use airfryer, you can use your oven or even make them charred on your gas.
Meanwhile chop garlic, onion and clean spinach. In a heavy dutch oven pot or any soup pot, saute garlic & onions in oil. Once raw smell is gone and onions are translucent, add charred broccoli along with some water.
Add salt and pepper. Add fresh spinach and cover and let it cook on low for few minutes. Once spinach is all wilted and soup is slightly cold, puree in your high speed blender or using a hand blender. Add more water as per the consistency you like. Adjust salt and pepper until you are happy with the taste!
That’s about it. Serve with some fried garlic ( not necessary but such a game changer!).
I hope you make it and share it with your loved ones!
