Clean Green Soup (Paleo, Vegan)

Home » Recipes » Courses/Meal » Soups » Clean Green Soup (Paleo, Vegan)

A healthy and cleansing green soup filled with vegetables that’s made to nourish and revitalize your body anytime of year.

Clean Green Soup in Bowls

I know it’s almost summer and the so-called soup season has long passed, but I just had to share this clean green soup with you because it’s so light and suitable for anytime of the year.

Frankly I see no reason to limit my soup consumption to the winter months.  A bowl of soup is always welcome lunch or dinner fare in my opinion. It’s a quick and satisfying option that feels so nurturing to your body.

Vegetables for clean green soup on cutting board.

This past week brought back a few cool, crisp days, just a little reminder that summer isn’t quite ready to make its appearance and I found myself wanting something a little warm and soothing without being overly hearty or heavy.

This healthy, clean green soup is like a bit of spring in your spoon, with its bright clean flavors and vibrant green color.   You’ve got the sweet grassy taste of petite peas, baby spinach, broccoli and green beans all mingling together in velvety harmony with just a touch of garlic and chives lingering in the background.

It’s a straightforward affair you can make in less than 30 minutes. I like to make extra to reheat during the week.

The super velvety texture comes from blitzing everything up in the blender with a swig of olive oil at the end which makes it entirely dairy-free.  Wonderfully versatile, you can add extra fresh vegetables to it to make it more substantial, or even thin it out with a bit of water and sip it chilled.  I like to finish mine with an extra sprinkle of sea salt and drizzle of fresh olive oil.

    All things green are so glorious. I too think that every season is a good one for soup. We have so many different vegetables and textures that can be played with, and used to nourish our bodies. I especially love the thought of the swirl of olive oil at the end to make it that much more satisfying. Thank you for the idea!

    Personally I don't have a soup season haha because I could eat soup all year long! This is perfect for the warmer months though!

    This looks lovely. I love the chives, garlic and olive oil as accents, and trying to taste the various veggies in each bite. It's beautiful too. Thanks for sharing such a vibrant, green soup!

    "Like spring in a spoon." I love that. Who doesn't need a little spring? This soup is such a gorgeous color, looks so healthy and refreshing. I will also be finishing mine with an extra sprinkle of sea salt and extra drizzle of olive oil!
