Herbaceous Green Soup

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Heat some olive oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and cook them, stirring now and then, until they turn translucent—this should take about 5 minutes. Then lower the heat to low and keep cooking the onions gently, stirring occasionally, until they become really soft and a deep golden brown. This will take around 30 minutes, but it’s worth the wait for that rich flavor.

Step 2

While the onions are cooking, pour the vegetable broth into a large pot and warm it over medium heat. Add the rice and minced garlic, then stir in the kale and spinach. If the mixture looks too thick, feel free to add a bit more broth. Once the onions are ready, add them to the pot. Let everything simmer together until the greens shrink down and the rice is fully cooked, which should take about 45 minutes.

Step 3

When it’s all cooked through, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your preferred consistency. Stir in the goat cheese, then blend again until the soup is smooth and creamy. Finish by adding a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Give it one last stir, and it’s ready to enjoy!
