Ingredients
- Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Broccoli
- 2 cups, cut into florets
- Bok choy
- 2 cups, chopped
- Vegetable broth
- 4 cups

- Cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the bok choy and broccoli florets, cooking for an additional 5 minutes while stirring occasionally to soften the vegetables.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness.
Tips
- For added protein, consider adding tofu or chickpeas during the simmering stage.
- Feel free to customize the soup with your favorite vegetables like carrots or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
- If you like a bit more heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha before serving.
