A velvety and flavorful creamy herb soup made with fresh herbs and vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped spinach and parsley to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  6. Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Heat gently until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream.
  • You can also add cooked chicken or white beans for extra protein.
  • For a bit of heat, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes while sautéing the onions.
