Broccoli Spinach Soup
1.5 tbsp olive oil
4 cups spinach leafs
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 medium onion diced
1 medium Yukon potato peeled and diced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh dill
4 cups broccoli florets
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
In a medium heavy bottom pot heat olive oil on medium high heat. Add onion, celery and cook for 3-5 min stirring frequently. Add garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper stir for 30 seconds. Add broth, potatoes, broccoli and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for 20 minutes.
While the soup is cooking, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Now get a bowl of ice water with a colander in it and set it next to boiling water. Once the pot is boiling add your spinach and dill and let cook for 45-60 seconds remove from water using a slotted spoon and place in an ice bath. Once cool remove colander with spinach from the ice bath and strain out all excess water from spinach and set aside.
Once the soup has reached 20 minutes, check potatoes to see if they are fork tender. If so, remove from heat and pour soup into a blender, add spinach, dill, lemon zest and blend on high speed until soup is green and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and garnish with fresh dill and a few drops of good olive oil.
