Soups are such a great winter food. You can pack them with nutrients and immune boosting spices. They are gentle on our digestion and great to have when you are feeling a little under the weather. 

Make a big pot and enjoy throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 3 TBSP of coconut oil/ olive oil

  • 1 leek sliced

  •  2 large potatoes chopped  

  • 1 large zucchini chopped

  • 2 heads of broccoli cut into florets

  • 2 garlic bulbs crushed

  • 4 cups of vegetable stock

  • 1 TSP chilli flakes

  • 1/2 TSP ground cumin

  • 1/2 TSP curry powder

  • Sea salt & black pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot

  2. Add the leek and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic.

  3. Add the potatoes, zucchini and broccoli stirring to combine. Season with chilli flakes, cumin, curry powder, salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables until cooked through. 

  4. Add the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and then reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes.

  5. Set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, blitz the soup using a food processor until smooth and creamy. 

  6. I topped mine with roasted chickpeas and crispy kale.
