Ingredients
- 1 small handful parsley chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cups veggie broth (can also use low-sodium veggie broth or bone broth instead)
- 1 bunch broccoli chopped
- 1 small russet potato chopped
- 5 ounces spinach chopped
- 2 small leeks chopped
- 1 pinch salt plus more to taste
- 1 pinch pepper plus more to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat add the olive oil and then the chopped leeks and potatoes.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until softened - about 5 minutes.
- Add the veggie broth and broccoli. Simmer until tender – about 25 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach until wilted. Transfer to a blender or hand blend until smooth.
- Add chopped parsley to top and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
*Swapping your veggie broth with low-sodium veggie broth will reduce the amount of sodium per serving. Also, bone broth (which will no longer make it vegan) is an excellent substitute as it's low in sodium and will provide other bone-building minerals.
