Mmmmm Green Soup

I have been starting to feel a bit under the weather this week so made some "Green Soup" to boost my immune system.
Its truely not visually appetising but it is tasty and it will aid in your health.

Green Soup

1 brown onion (diced)
1 leek (sliced)
1 brocolli head
Spinach - English or baby, whatever takes your fancy (chopped)
frozen Peas
chicken or beef stock


Heat a deep frying pan to medium and saute onions and leek until transluscent. Add chopped Broccoli and allow to soften.
Add about 2 cups of the stock in and bring to boil until broccoli is cooked, then add chopped spinach. When spinach is wilted add some more stock (enough to boil the peas.) Bring to a gentle boil and add the bag of frozen peas.
Once peas are cooked through, blend mixture together - with a stick blender!!! When I made this batch, i used my boss' glass blender, then as i was rinsing the jug, it shattered on me. So be careful! Plus its hot! But if you dont blend it soon after the peas are cooked they loose their bright colour and you end up with a big bowl of dark green poo-looking soup.
Also, if you think you may have too much liquid, remove some of it and set aside. If after the soup is blended it needs more liquid, slowly add the removed stock until desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper.

Serve with croutons or crunchy bread.

Also, you can really add any green vegetable - even lettuce to sweeten it up, just saute after the onions.
