Warming Broccoli & Spinach Soup – A Nutritious & Comforting Bowl
With the weather constantly changing, I found myself craving something warm and comforting, so I decided to make this warming broccoli & spinach soup.
It wasn’t exactly what I had planned for the broccoli and spinach I bought last week, but with the cold and rain outside, a nourishing bowl of soup felt like the perfect choice. To bring extra warmth and depth of flavour, I added fragrant Indian spices and fresh ginger, giving it a subtle heat that makes it even more satisfying. I also included chickpeas, adding a boost of protein and iron to make this soup both hearty and nutritious.
This broccoli and spinach soup is not only packed with goodness but also incredibly delicious. The combination of vibrant greens, warming spices, and creamy chickpeas creates a rich and wholesome dish that feels like a hug in a bowl. It is smooth, comforting, and just what you need on a grey and rainy day. Whether you enjoy it on its own or with a slice of crusty bread, this soup is a simple yet nourishing way to warm up and recharge.

Recipe look great but I do have one question.
In the ingredients list is the following: “…1-2 lemon juice…”
This could mean:
1. Juice from 1 to 2 lemons to taste
2. 1 – 2 teaspoons lemon juice
3. 1 – 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
While I know it is ultimately to taste, what was your intention?
Thanks for the post.
PS – Under your tag for primary ingredients for this recipe ( Ingredient : Asparagus, Broccoli ), you have listed Asparagus where I assume you should have listed SPINACH.
No need to post this comment or my first one.
Thanks for pointing this out. It has been rectified and should now list the right ingredients 🙂
