Spiced Broccoli, Courgette and Coconut Soup
This delicious soup has lots of healthy greens; broccoli, courgette, sugar snaps and kale plus coconut milk to making it beautifully creamy.
I’m a big lover of greens.
I know some people love a green juice but I would prefer to eat my greens raw, stir-fried or as a soup rather than in a juice–it’s just never been my thing.
That’s one of the reasons I have a few super green soups on my blog–I think it’s a brilliant way of packing in loads of healthy veggies with complimentary and delicious additions.
This soup definitely has lots of healthy greens; broccoli, courgette, sugar snaps and kale plus coconut milk to making it beautifully creamy.
You could swap the coconut milk for plant-based milk if you’d prefer a less creamy version, but I love the combination.
