Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
• 1 head broccoli, chopped into florets
• 1/2 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
• 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• Optional: 2 cups fresh spinach

Directions

1. Sauté Your Veggies to Perfection Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and develop a slight caramelization. This crucial step builds depth of flavor!
2. Introduce the Aromatic Garlic Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter quickly. Keep it moving!
3. Liquid Gold – Broth & Coconut Milk Pour in the vegetable broth and the full-fat coconut milk. Stir everything together well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. If using, add the fresh spinach now until it wilts.
4. Simmer to Thicken and Combine Flavors Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are very tender. This simmering time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and helps the soup thicken slightly, contributing to that desired creamy consistency.
5. Blend Your Way to Velvety Smoothness Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a high-speed blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, make sure to vent the lid (usually by removing the small cap) and cover with a kitchen towel to prevent steam buildup and splatters. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with more broth or water if too thick, or simmer uncovered for a few more minutes if too thin.
