I thought I'd share this recipe for a really nourishing soup I made- perfect for fighting off the pesky commuter cold going around! Apologies for the poor lighting, I made it late last night for my lunch today. It's so quick and takes about twenty minutes from scratch. Sometimes these very green soups can taste quite grassy but the cannellini beans give it a nice creamy taste.
Ingredients:
Cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
1 bag spinach
1 head broccoli
Juice of 1 1/2 lemons depending on preference
salt and pepper to taste
1 handful coriander
2 garlic cloves
1 pint of water
olive oil

1 handful coriander
2 garlic cloves
1 pint of water
olive oil
Begin by heating the garlic in a saucepan with a little olive oil, pepper and salt. Add the pint of water and broccoli, and simmer until the broccoli is tender. Now add the spinach in and leave for a couple of minutes until it has wilted.
Put all of this into a blender along with the cannellini beans, lemon juice and coriander and blend until it is the same consistency as cream. Now the soup is ready for heating and eating, voila! This is perfect as a healthy office lunch and pairs well with rye bread and avocado for something a bit more substantial.
