I want to marry you. I have never wanted to marry a food quite like you. The taste is the same hot or cold, fresh or old, you are lovely every single way. As a soup, as a sauce over rice, mixed with scrambled eggs. How you taste so creamy without any dairy is beyond me. I am deeply indebted to Kirstie Alley for creating you. It's no wonder her weight loss company Organic Liaison is so successful.
Kirstie Alley's Green Soup:
8 Shallots
2 bunches asparagus
2 bunches spinach
3 heads broccoli
4 cartons chicken broth
8 leeks (white part only)
salt & pepper
olive oil
Chop all veges except asparagus and set aside.
In a big pot put 1/3 cup olive oil (I use about 1/2 butter 1/2 olive oil). Add shallots and sweat them until they are clear (at this point I also add 3-5 cloves minced garlic).
Add leeks & sweat until clear.
Add asparagus and broccoli.
Add tbsp salt (to taste).
Add 1 carton chicken broth (32 oz). Simmer for 5 minutes.
Add 3 more cartons chicken broth.
Add 3/4 tbsp pepper (to taste).
Cover and bring to a boil.
Take off flame and add spinach.
Let sit for a bit (this is when I clean up the kitchen :)
Puree with an immersion blender if you have it or in batches in your blender.
Return to pot and bring to boil again.
A bit labor intensive? Yes. Cost using organic products? about $42. However this makes two LARGE pots so is worth about 4-5 dinners for our family. Plus the amount of veges you get in one serving is astronomical and it tastes like candy. Not even joking. If a vege soup could taste like candy - this would be it.
