Not your ordinary vegetables soup

Ingredients:  my soup pot is 5.5 qt Le Creuset

4 Tbs olive oil

1 bunch of scallions or leek ( or both )

2 can’t of artichoke hearts

3  big carrots

2 bunch of celery sticks

1 cup slices mushrooms

3 cups spinach

2 -3 lemons juice only

Bunch of parsley

Bunch of cilantro

Spices: salt & white pepper, turmeric, smoked paprika ( smoked paprika is game changer )

Instructions

1. Chops all veggies & green herbs

   

2. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat.  With your olive oil and sprinkle all spice , be generous, at least 1teaspoon of each, infuse them in the olive oil, when they open up you’ll smell it ,

3. Add celery & carrots season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 5 -8 minutes , close the pot and let them sweat !

4. Add all the vegetables & herbs to pot and mix it all together

5. Fill your pot 3/4 of the way with water (you can use chicken/vegetable broth if you like the taste of it, I prefer water) bring to boil for 5-7 minutes

6. simmer down and Cook, until vegetables are tender, 25-35 minutes. And cover it up .

7. When veggies are soft add the lemon juice and stir well

8. Season with salt and pepper or add more spices as desired.  And cook for additional 5 minutes

9. Serve warm, I love adding drizzle of olive oil, splash of lemon and garnish with parsley or cilantro, enjoy
   ♦️ note - when soup is ready you can scoop out the liquid into a mason jar and you got yourself homemade veggies broth , make sure you make more for the next day.. it’s one of those recipes that gets even more flavorful & delicious overnight .
