Ingredients

Scale

Herbs and Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Oils

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Herbs: Wash and dry the basil, parsley, and spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit, ensuring the herbs are clean and fresh for the soup.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it to maintain a mellow garlic flavor.
  3. Cook the Herbs: Add the chopped basil, parsley, and spinach to the pot with the garlic, then pour in the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the herbs to soften, enhancing the soup’s green and fresh profile.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot or transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Coconut Milk: Return the blended soup to low heat, stir in the full-fat coconut milk, and warm the soup through without bringing it to a boil to preserve the creamy texture.
  7. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with additional fresh herbs or a swirl of coconut milk for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • For a thinner consistency, add more vegetable broth or water as desired.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor, but frozen herbs can be a substitute in a pinch.
  • This soup can be served chilled for a refreshing summer option.
  • Garnish with toasted nuts or a squeeze of lemon juice for added texture and brightness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
