A delightful, nourishing blend of vibrant vegetables that warms the soul and revitalizes the body.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- 1 can chickpeas (optional)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Sprinkle in the ground turmeric, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Stir in the chopped kale or spinach and optional chickpeas. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the greens have wilted down and the chickpeas are heated through.
- Remove from heat and add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve warm, and enjoy the comforting goodness!
Notes
To enhance flavor, consider adding a bay leaf while simmering. If you prefer a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before adding the greens.
