  • 1 ½ cups of chopped fennel

  • 1 ⅓ cup of sliced leeks

  • 1 ¼ cup of chopped celery

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 (10-ounce) zucchini, cubed

  • 1 (10-ounce) package of fresh spinach

  • ½ (12-ounce) bag of fresh broccoli florets

  • 6 leaves Tuscan kale, ribs removed and cut into small pieces

  • ¼ cup of chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth

  • 2 cups of hot water, as needed

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1 teaspoon of spirulina powder

  • 10 tablespoons of gomasio (toasted, crushed sesame seeds)

Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add fennel, leeks, celery, and garlic cloves and saute until soft and fragrant, three to five minutes.

  2. Add zucchini, spinach, broccoli, kale, and parsley; mix to combine. Cook until kale and spinach have wilted slightly, about three minutes.

  3. Stir in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth, adding hot water if needed to achieve desired consistency. Add avocado and spirulina powder and blend until smooth.

  5. Ladle soup into bowls and serve each with one tablespoon gomasio.
