Super Simple Green Soup

Simple Green Soup with Broccoli and Spinach - photo

This super simple green soup is made with broccoli, spinach, onions, fennel and potatoes. It is super healthy yet creamy, comforting and delicious!  I have one child who requests this soup on a weekly basis. I know it may not be for every family, but I love that most of us really enjoy this which is why I finally decided to share it.

You will need a large pot and an immersion blender, food processor or high speed blender to puree the soup. Since everything gets blended at the end the chopping is very easy and fast. Once everything is lightly chopped bring all the ingredients to a boil and let simmer until they are soft.

Then transfer the ingredients to a blender (or just use an immersion blender).

Blend until your preferred consistency (we prefer it blended completely).

My children prefer the soup with a generous amount of parmesan, I love it plain or with a light sprinkling of parmesan. Feel free to enjoy the soup alone or serve it with toasted bread.
