Roasted Broccoli Microgreen Soup

Here’s a good recipe for those cold winter evenings. This soup contains a lot of microgreens – 500 ml or more! Plus the beans and sunflower seeds provide enough fat and protein to make it very filling and satisfying.

If green is the colour of well-being, then this soup is a health bomb. Roasting the vegetables serves to infuse each spoonful with smoky flavour, beans add body, feta offers salty richness, and microgreens provide a sense of spring freshness. Other little greens such as mustard, arugula, clover, and radish will also be most welcomed in this blend.

Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C) and place a rimmed baking sheet in oven as it heats. Toss broccoli, onion, and garlic with oil and salt. Spread out on hot baking sheet and roast until broccoli is darkened in spots, about 25 minutes, stirring once.

Place broth, roasted vegetables, microgreens, feta, beans, lemon juice, and chili powder (if using) in blender or food processor container and blend until smooth. Warm soup in saucepan, and thin as needed with additional broth or water.

Serve soup garnished with additional microgreens and feta, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of oil.
