Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced

1 leek (white part only) or another onion, diced
1 medium fennel, chopped

2 celery stems, roughly chopped
5 garlic cloves, roughly minced

3/4 tsp allspice powder (substitute mixed spice)
3/4 tsp cumin powder (substitute coriander)
1 medium potato (any type), peeled and cut into 1.5 cm cubes

1 head broccoli, florets and peeled chopped stalk
2 1/2 tsp cooking or kosher salt
3/4 tsp black pepper

1.75 litres/quarts water
1 cup frozen peas
5 cups tightly packed kale leaves, roughly chopped (about 1 small bunch)

5 cups tightly packed baby spinach
3/4 cup thickened cream
2 tbsp sunflower seeds, toasted (or use croutons or other toasted nuts)

Cream and/or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a very large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, leek, celery, garlic, and chopped fennel. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Step 2: Stir in the allspice and cumin powders. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the water, diced potatoes, broccoli florets and stalk, salt, and pepper. Stir well, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 7 minutes until broccoli is tender.
Step 4: Add frozen peas and simmer for an additional 1 minute.
Step 5: Remove the pot from heat. Add the chopped kale, pushing it under the liquid. Use a stick blender to blitz until mostly smooth with some texture. Then add the baby spinach, push it under the liquid, and blitz again until as smooth as possible, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 6: Stir in the thickened cream. Ladle the soup into bowls, and drizzle with extra cream and/or olive oil. Sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, substitute thickened cream with coconut cream or cashew cream and omit sunflower seeds or replace with toasted nuts.
Use mixed greens or Swiss chard if kale is not available.

Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavors beautifully.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. The soup may thicken when chilled; add a splash of water or broth when reheating if needed to reach desired consistency.

How to Serve

A large shiny silver pot filled with smooth bright green soup with a slightly creamy texture, swirled with thin white cream lines and drizzled with golden olive oil on top, garnished with small light brown seeds scattered in the center. A woman's hand holds the pot handle on the left side, while another woman's hand stirs the soup gently with a silver ladle on the right side. Below the pot are four silver spoons in different shapes and designs, and a white bowl with a beige inside is partially visible. The scene is set on a white marbled surface with a gray and white patterned cloth at the top. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this soup in advance?

Yes, this soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors have time to develop. Just store it properly in the fridge and reheat before serving.

Can I freeze the soup?

Freezing is possible, but the texture may change slightly due to the cream and blended greens. To freeze, cool completely and store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
