Introduction

Just wanted to whip up a soup to use up some green veggies for lunch. None of these amounts are set in stone, nor are the ingredients, for that matter. I only used this as a calculator, but wanted to save it to add to my meal planner. That said, it really IS quite good! A bit high in calories, but I had it with fish, so it worked out ok for the meal. Just wanted to whip up a soup to use up some green veggies for lunch.

Ingredients

    For this recipe I used:
    * 1 big slice of onion
    * 1 large clove garlic
    * 1/2 jalapeno pepper
    * 1/2 medium zucchini
    * 3/4 cup cauliflower
    * 1 cup spinach
    * 3 canned artichoke hearts, cut into smaller pieces
    * 1 cup vegetable broth
    * 2 1/2 oz shredded mozzerella cheese

Directions

Saute onion, garlic, and jalapeno in olive oil. Add 1 cup vegetable broth to the pan (I use a sauce pan for the sauteeing, and just make the soup right in there), bring to a simmer and add the cauliflower, cut into small pieces. Cook until cauliflower is done, allow to cool, and then puree the whole mess in food processor or blender. ***Note: You could also use an immersion blender, and skip the cooling. I was too tired to think of that.
Return to heat, and add spinach, zucchini, artichokes, and cheese. Experiment with seasonings - I added cayenne pepper, and it was good to go!
