Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
  • 3 medium size organic leeks, washed and chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups organic baby spinach
  • 1 small head organic broccoli, roughly chopped
  • 8 cups turkey, chicken or vegetable stock
  • Season to taste.

Topping Ideas

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes or chopped chives

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the leeks and garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes to soften, stirring often to keep the garlic from burning.
  • Add the broccoli, spinach and stock.
  • Season to taste.
  • Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to process until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes
