Method

  • step 1

    Put the oil in a deep pan, add the garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric and salt, fry on a medium heat for 2 mins, then add 3 tbsp water to give a bit more moisture to the spices.

  • step 2

    Add the courgettes, making sure you mix well to coat the slices in all the spices, and continue cooking for 3 mins. Add 400ml stock and leave to simmer for 3 mins.

  • step 3

    Add the broccoli, kale and lime juice with the rest of the stock. Leave to cook again for another 3-4 mins until all the vegetables are soft.

  • step 4

    Take off the heat and add the chopped parsley. Pour everything into a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. It will be a beautiful green with bits of dark speckled through (which is the kale). Garnish with lime zest and parsley.

I made this soup exactly to your recipe. It’s absolutely delicious - and I’m not keen on kale. The spices etc are tasty and hint of lemon excellent.

Made this for breakfast for myself today to kick off a return to healthy eating after a holiday - yum! Could I make the full quantity, refrigerate half of it and have it the following day, either reheated, or drink it chilled as a smoothie?

I enjoyed this but didnt have courgettes so substituted with a little potato and celery (which I cooked for 15 minutes before adding the greens etc.) and doubled the quantity of broccoli. I also used two small limes. Loved it. Next time I’ll liquidise it for longer as I left it a bit too chunky.

Marvellous! I left out like and sprinkled the soup with some sesame seeds and tosted sunflower seeds. Definitely making it again.

Tripled the amount of broccoli and added a bit more kale, used 1 L of vege stock and only 1 T of lime. It was absolutely delicious, really fresh tasting.
