- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids and Oils
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Wash Herbs: Start by thoroughly washing and drying your fresh basil, parsley, and spinach to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Add Herbs and Broth: Add the chopped herbs, spinach, and chopped onion to the pot. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and stir everything together.
- Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes to soften the vegetables and infuse the broth with herbal flavors.
- Blend: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer the mixture in batches to a blender. Blend until the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Add Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in the can of coconut milk gently to combine, warming it through without boiling.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or a swirl of coconut milk for an attractive presentation. Enjoy warm.
