Mushroom, Coconut & Healthy Greens Soup

This tasty ‘Mushroom, Coconut & Greens Soup’ recipe benefits from a nutritional array of iron rich greens such as parsley and broccoli, whilst enticing the taste buds with a flavourful fusion of mushroom and coconut. I really love the light, vibrant, clean nourishing feeling that this soup leaves me with afterwards.

Serves: 2
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
-1 medium to large broccoli (350g/12oz approx)
-300g (11oz) tasty mushrooms
-250ml (8½ fl oz) water
-1 tsp sea salt
-250ml (8½ fl oz) coconut cream
-Handful  frozen peas
-Large handful fresh parsley
-Dash of olive oil (to sauté the mushrooms)

Directions:
1. Slice mushrooms and then use olive oil to gently sauté them in the cooking pot for a couple of minutes. This helps to bring out their flavour. If your oil dries up quickly add a splash of water to finish the process.

2. Chop broccoli into small pieces (including the tender parts of the stalk) and add to the cooking pot along with water, sea salt, peas and coconut cream. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer once it’s boiling.

3. Place lid on pot and allow to cook for about 15 minutes.

4. In the meantime chop parsley, adding to the soup right at the end (to maintain it’s vibrancy and flavour).

5. It’s that simple.
