Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the diced onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the carrots, celery, and zucchini. Cook for 3–5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.
  4. Add the turmeric, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
  5. Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in the chopped kale or spinach and cook for a few minutes until wilted.
  7. Add the fresh lemon juice, adjust seasoning to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add shredded chicken, white beans, or lentils for extra protein.
  • Stir in cooked rice or small pasta to make it heartier.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for gentle heat.
  • For a richer broth, stir in a splash of coconut milk at the end.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Add fresh greens after reheating for the best texture if freezing.
