Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 leek (white part only) or another onion
  • 1 medium fennel
  • 2 celery stems
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 tsp all spice powder
  • 3/4 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 medium potato
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 2 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1.75 litres / quarts water
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 5 cups kale leaves, roughly chopped
  • 5 cups baby spinach
  • 3/4 cup thickened cream
Garnishes
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds, toasted
  • Cream and/or olive oil for drizzling
Method:
  1. Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a very large pot (6L/qt) over medium high heat. Cook onion, leek, celery, garlic and fennel for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Cook spices: Add all spice and cumin, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add water, potatoes, broccoli, salt and pepper. Stir, bring to simmer, and simmer for 7 minutes (no lid) until the broccoli is tender.
  4. Add peas: Add peas, simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Blitz in kale: Remove pot off the stove. Add kale, push it under the liquid, then blitz with a stick blender until mostly smooth. Add spinach, push under the liquid then blitz again until smooth as possible (approx 3 to 5 mins). This will result in a smooth soup but with little green bits in it – I like this for a little texture.
  6. Serve: Stir in cream. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with extra cream and/or olive oil and finish with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. Eat and feel great!
