• 3 teaspoons ground coriander

• ½ teaspoon turmeric

How To Make Broccoli And Spinach Soup In A Soup Maker

1. Pre-sauté (if your soup maker allows): If your soup maker has a sauté function, add grapeseed oil and sauté onion, garlic, ginger, and celery for about 3–5 minutes until fragrant. If not, you can sauté them in a pan and then add to the soup maker.
2. Load the soup maker: Add the sautéed vegetables (or raw if not sautéing), coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, frozen broccoli, frozen spinach, and vegetable broth to your soup maker jug.
3. Select soup setting: Choose the “smooth” soup setting. Most soup makers will cook and blend in about 15–20 minutes automatically.
4. Finish and season: Once the cycle is complete, open the lid carefully and stir in salt, pepper, and chopped parsley to taste.
5. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with roasted broccoli florets, chili flakes, or additional parsley.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use fresh broccoli and spinach? Yes, but reduce the liquid slightly if using fresh spinach since it releases more water.
• How to add creaminess: Stir in a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of Greek yogurt after blending.
• Can I skip the oil? Yes, but sautéing adds depth of flavor. You can also use a splash of broth instead of oil.
• Make it spicy: Add chili powder or a small chopped chili for heat.
• Extra protein boost: Add a scoop of cooked lentils or white beans before blending.
