Jolly Green Giant

Really this is just a continuation from my last post in order to avoid having 10 recipes and funny blimps on one post. "Nobody's got time for that" (I got bronchitis!) If you don't get the joke I highly encourage you to check out YouTube and simply search for "Nobody got time for that", you will be rewarded with some real comedic enjoyment.

One of the healthy soups I made during my massive meal prep was inspired by a Paleo recipe. No, I'm not eating like a cave man nor do I follow this diet (even though it would be fun to drag Nate around by his hair and give up on all forms of human hygiene) That's why I like to use the work INSPIRED because they do have some good recipes that are very veggie based but I still use butter and other forbidden ingredients in my prep.

This is suppose to be a cream of broccoli soup but it's closer to a pureed green soup and can be adapted with any veggies you like if you stick with a basic structure. I'm going to pull a "Carol" (my Mom) and say that I didn't really measure anything in this recipe but mostly eyeballed it.

Green Machine.

Lots of green veggies
Onion
Broth
Dairy such as milk, cream, coconut milk, whatever you like or leave it out
Lemon
EVOO
Other optional additions if you have them: wine, garlic, tater, pesto, WHATEVER YOU LIKE!

I chopped up a whole head of broccoli (stem included), an onion and stuck it in a pan with a swirl of EVOO and s&p. Put that over medium heat for about 5 mins until things start to soften. I then added a random 1/2 bag of frozen peas and about 3 cups broth and cranked the temp up to get my soup simmering until things become soft-ish. At this point I decided to throw in some handfuls of spinach, squished a lemon and added coconut beverage (it's like watered down coconut milk) Take a stick blender and pulverize the heck out of it. If you don't have a stick blender, go get one because you will LOVE IT. Or you could use a blender or food processor or go cave man and smush it with a tater masher (but that would take FOREVER)
