XCooking: Jen Hexxx Green goddess Vegan Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 head broccoli
• 4 tbsp coconut oil divided
• 1 small yellow onion diced
• 1 leek cleaned and slice
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 head of kale chopped and divided
• 3 tbsp flour
• 2 cups non dairy milk (I used almond milk but coconut milk works too)
• 1/2-1 tsp salt *add more depending on your taste*
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash and chop kale, then dry thoroughly before tossing 2 cups of it with 1-2 tsp olive oil, massaging oil into leaves and seasoning with salt before spreading onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside for now.

1. Trim and wash broccoli, then cut into florets. Melt 2 tbsp coconut oil in a large pot on med-high heat. Saute onions, leek and garlic.
2. Add broccoli and vegetable broth, bringing to a boil then simmering for 2 min until broccoli is tender.
3. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 cups of chopped kale, letting cool for about 15 min before pureeing vegetables in a blender (I used my Vitamix for this )
4. While waiting for the veggies to cool, you can make your kale chips! Bake them in the preheated oven for 7-8 min, checking and flipping them every couple minutes so they don't burn. When they're crispy, remove them from the oven and set aside to top your soup with.
5. Heat remaining 2 tbsp coconut oil in the large pot on med-high heat. Whisk in flour, then gradually add your non-dairy milk, salt and pepper, stirring til thickened. Stir in vegetable puree and top with pumpkin seeds and kale chips.

   

Serving Suggestion: Sliced avocado on top. Yummmmm!
