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.

    It says it serves 2. Just making sure, but this recipe makes two bowls of soup? It looks amazing by the way!

      Yes it makes enough for two if serving as a meal but you can easily double the recipe if you need more servings. Hope that helps!

    Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'm a weekly (Sunday) soup maker and always on the lookout for a healthy, vegan + delicious new recipe. I made this with some trepidation re: a possible lack of taste but the chives and a tiny bit of sea salt was all it needed. Stuck to the recipe and ended up with a QUICK, EASY, SUPER-WOW-YUMMY!!! and NUTRITIOUS meal for several nights. Served cold, with a scoop of quinoa on top, makes for a lovely summer dinner after a long day at work. Thanks again - looking forward to more fun recipes from you. :-)

    I can go for a bowl of soup any season actually, unless its a super warm day. It's comforting and always satisfying.

    I can eat soup any time of year, doesn't matter how hot it gets! I love the clean flavors of this soup and the olive oil finish. Elegant and simple! I've never had a soup this "green" before but definitely want to try now.
