This is one of my go to recipes, especially in winter, because it takes five minutes to prepare, tastes delicious and is packed full of goodness.  It’s a great way to pack lots of green veggies into your diet. 

Toppings

There are many ingredients that can be sprinkled on top, but I like to add

• Some turmeric and cayenne. The turmeric is a natural blood cleanser, highly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and the cayenne is a circulatory stimulant, which can help speed up metabolic processes.
• Adding pine nuts (these are actually a seed) or a mixture of other seeds or savoury yeast flakes will add to the protein content,
• A sprinkling of dried onion flakes helps enrich the delicious flavour, 
• Some avocado adds some creaminess to the soup and some healthy fats, 
• A dollop of coconut cream will add to the creaminess and richness of the soup, 
• Get creative and add flavours you love!

Green Goddess Soup

Ingredients – Serves 2

• 2 cups of frozen peas
• 4 sticks of celery
• 1 small head of broccoli
• 750ml of filtered water
• 2 organic vegetable stock cubes (gluten, yeast & sugar, salt free)
• Himalayan salt to taste

Directions

1. Place the peas, celery & water into a high speed blender and blend until combined,
2. Add the broccoli and blend again till combined,
3. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and add the 2 stock cubes, (you may like to add one and test the flavour before adding the second – some stock cubes can taste quite salty),
4. Heat on a medium heat, stirring continually to ensure the stock cubes break down,
5. Add the himalayan salt, taste before adding as you may not need any,
6. Once heated, serve in two bowls and sprinkle your choice of toppings on top,
7. Enjoy!
