High-Protein Edamame Spinach Soup


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To make this wholesome soup, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen edamame (shelled)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: lemon juice for garnish

Instructions

Creating this delicious soup is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to have a warm bowl ready in no time:

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they become soft and fragrant. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Cook the Edamame: Add the edamame and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  3. Add the Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup in batches using a standard blender.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice if desired. Serve warm, and enjoy the comforting flavors.
