Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
-
Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until very fragrant but not browned.
-
Add the oregano, parsley, cayenne, turmeric, black pepper, and soy sauce.
-
Cook for 2 minutes, until the herbs begin to wilt.
-
Add the broccoli and cook until bright green and beginning to release some moisture, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the chicken stock. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the broccoli starts to soften.
-
Add the Swiss chard and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds.
-
Add the baby spinach, a few handfuls at a time. Cook until just wilted and stir to incorporate into the soup before adding more.
-
Once the spinach is wilted and the broccoli stems can be easily pierced with a fork, remove the soup from the heat.
-
It is important not to overcook the greens, as they will begin to lose their vibrant color and nutrients.
-
Cool the soup for 15 minutes, until it can be safely transferred to a high-speed blender, if using.
-
With a standing blender or immersion blender, puree the soup briefly to combine, then add the avocado, lemon juice, and salt and blend until creamy, with no lumps remaining.
-
Enjoy the soup hot or cold, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds and parsley, if desired.
