Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 315kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- 0.5 pound arugula
- 0.5 pound spinach
- 1 ounce dandelion greens
- 17.5 ounces vegetable stock or broth
- 10 ounce russet potato peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 large Fuji or Gala apple peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
- kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- coconut cream, cream fraiche, or sour cream swirled in - optional
Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing the spinach, arugula, and dandelion leaves, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic, lower heat to low and cook until fragrant.
- Add the greens and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, then add the chopped potato and apple. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potato is fork tender.
- Using tongs, add the greens, potato, and apple to a blender or food processor. Pour in the hot broth and secure the lid – leave the vent open to prevent the pressure building up which will cause the soup to explode!
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls or mugs and swirl creme fraiche, sour cream, or coconut cream through. I sprinkled with red pepper flakes for a bit of drama and added flavor.
Notes
- Experiment with other leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, cabbage, or watercress to accompany the spinach and arugula.
- Add nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor, or a splash of lemon juice to brighten things up.
- A sprinkle of fresh ground nutmeg before serving would also add a nice hint of warmth to the soup.
