Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- In a blender, combine the washed spinach, ripe avocado, and coconut water. The avocado will add a creamy texture to the soup, while the coconut water provides a subtle sweetness and hydration.
- Add the diced cucumber to the blender. This will add a refreshing crunch and enhance the overall flavor profile of the soup.
- Next, add the chopped green onion to the mixture. The green onion will provide a mild onion flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Pour in the lemon juice. This will add a zesty brightness to the soup and balance the creaminess of the avocado.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Once blended, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more coconut water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Pour the raw vegan cream of spinach soup into bowls and serve immediately. For an added touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or a slice of cucumber on top.
- Enjoy this refreshing and nutritious soup as a light meal or appetizer!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use the freshest spinach and ripe avocado you can find. This will enhance the creaminess and overall taste of your soup.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, simply add more coconut water until you reach your desired consistency. This also allows you to customize the flavor to your liking!
- Experiment with Seasoning: Don’t hesitate to get creative with your seasonings! Try adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Chill Before Serving: For an even more refreshing experience, chill the soup in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This makes it a perfect dish for hot days!
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your dish by garnishing with sliced cucumbers, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil to make your soup visually appealing.
