Jumping in with another nutritious soup recipe today, and this time around it is a Vegan Spinach and Broccoli Coconut Soup. We just can’t have enough soup recipe inspiration, right? So versatile, so healthy and totally freezable, this soup is one for the weekly meal plan – so get cooking!
Eat your Greens
I wanted to combine the powerful green goodness from both spinach and broccoli, in this easy soup recipe. Spinach, packed with iron, vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin B2, all of which helps the function of red blood cells. The broccoli ensures you get folic acid, potassium, fiber, vitamins K and C – which builds collagen and is a powerful antioxidant agent.
Double up on this Vegan Soup
This soup recipe is completely plant-based and vegan-friendly. You can replace the coconut milk with dairy cream if you are more into the low carb, high-fat lifestyle. You can also add your choice of fresh herbs, although I found fresh basil to be a perfect addition that adds a little sweetness to the dish. Then make sure to double up when you cook this recipe and freeze the leftovers of soup in portions for up to two months. (I know how busy your life is.)
