Equipment

  • large pot
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 pound arugula
  • 0.5 pound spinach
  • 1 ounce dandelion greens
  • 17.5 ounces vegetable stock or broth
  • 10 ounces russet potato peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 large Fuji or Gala apple peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
  • kosher salt to taste
  • cracked black pepper to taste
  • coconut cream, cream fraiche, or sour cream swirled in - optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by thoroughly washing the spinach, arugula, and dandelion leaves, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the garlic, lower heat to low and cook until fragrant.
  • Add the greens and stir to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock, then add the chopped potato and apple. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the potato is fork tender.
  • Using tongs, add the greens, potato, and apple to a blender or food processor. Pour in the hot broth and secure the lid – leave the vent open to prevent the pressure building up which will cause the soup to explode!
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls or mugs and swirl creme fraiche, sour cream, or coconut cream through. I sprinkled with red pepper flakes for a bit of drama and added flavor.

Notes

Experiment with other leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, cabbage, or watercress to accompany the spinach and arugula. Add nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor, or a splash of lemon juice to brighten things up. A sprinkle of fresh ground nutmeg before serving would also add a nice hint of warmth to the soup.
