Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 white or yellow onion (chopped)
2-3 cloves garlic (minced)
2-3 teaspoons minced ginger (to taste)
2 medium yellow or yukon gold potatoes (peeled and roughly chopped (about 3/4-1 pound))
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 heaping cups broccoli stems or florets (or chopped asparagus, chopped baby bok choy, or roughly chopped zucchini)
4 cups tightly packed (roughly chopped kale, Swiss chard, beet greens, or spinach)
1 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk
Black pepper to taste
For serving: white beans (cooked rice, cooked quinoa, coconut bacon, toasted chickpeas, toasted pepitas, fresh herbs, etc.)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large stock or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion. Saute onion for 5 minutes, or until it's clear and soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, or until the garlic is very fragrant.
  • Add the potatoes, salt, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. Add the broccoli (or other vegetable). Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the kale or other leafy greens, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the kale is bright green and wilted.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender in batches to puree thoroughly, adding water as needed if the soup is too thick (remember that you'll also add some soy or almond milk after blending). Return the soup to the pot and stir in the plant milk and black pepper to taste, as well as a pinch of salt if desired. Serve with toppings of choice.
  • Soup will keep in an airtight container for up to three days and can be frozen for 2-3 weeks.

Great Green Blender Soup and Crème Fraîche image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 250-gram/9-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed in fridge overnight
3 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed in fridge overnight
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (1 liter)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 green onions, roughly chopped
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, grated
1/3 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup roughly chopped fine herbs, such as basil, mint, tarragon, chives or more parsley
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup finely grated Pecorino cheese, plus more for serving, optional (25 grams)
Sour cream, plain yogurt or Crème Fraîche, recipe follows, for garnish, optional
1/2 cup 35% cream (125 milliliters)
1 tablespoon buttermilk (15 milliliters)

Steps:

  • Drain the spinach through a fine mesh sieve, pressing gently to remove most of the water and transfer it along with the peas to a blender.
  • Meanwhile, pour the vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the green onions, season with salt and pepper and cook just until bright green and starting to lightly color, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the garlic, allowing the residual heat from the pan to lightly cook the garlic for about 30 seconds. Transfer to the blender. Add the herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice and 3 cups of the hot broth.
  • Place the lid on the blender, remove the vent cap, cover with a kitchen towel and blend on high until smooth. Add in the Pecorino cheese, if using. Season to taste with more salt, pepper and lemon juice. For a thinner soup, add more stock. Blend to combine.
  • Serve as is topped with sour cream, yogurt or crème fraîche and Pecorino cheese, if using. This soup can also be served chilled or heated to a higher temperature (though additional heating might tone down the bright green color).
  • Combine the cream and buttermilk in a glass jar and cover with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel affixed with a rubber band. Leave the mixture out on the counter at room temperature, undisturbed, for 12 to 24 hours, until thick. Stir and cover with an airtight lid and transfer to the fridge until ready to use for up to 10 days. Feel free to up the flavor by stirring in some lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper or finely chopped herbs just before serving.
