Broccoli Kale Soup Recipe

Ingredients

2 T Olive Oil

1 Small Leek (thinly sliced)

2 Cloves Garlic (minced)

1 Head Broccoli (chopped stems and florets)

6 Cups Kale

2 Medium Zucchini (sliced)

2 Celery Stalks (chopped)

1 Quart Stock of your choice (I use homemade Chicken stock)

1 Cup Parsley (chopped)

Directions

n a large stock pot heat oil over medium heat and add garlic and leeks. Slowly cook until translucent.

Add remaining ingredients and cook slowly bringing to a boil. Cook until zucchini is tender.

Set pot aside and let it cool slightly.

Carefully add contents of pot to a blender (in 2 or 3 batches) and blend until desired texture is achieved.

Salt and pepper to taste (The leeks are peppery and you may not need to add much pepper)

Optional garnish: drizzle of olive oil, dollop of sour cream or a pinch of finely chopped jalapeno pepper.
