This week’s guest recipe blogger is Three Lily Farm Chef, Frank Giglio. Three Lily Farm provides a space to offer inspiration and education with topics ranging from real food nutrition, traditional food preparation, wild food recipes, raising children, gardening, foraging, DIY projects, homesteading, and off-grid living. I love Frank’s recipes because they are ALL very delicious and manageable.

This soup can be heated slightly or enjoyed raw and it takes minutes to prepare, making for a simple, yet delicious lunch or dinner. With a good amount of avocado, there is plenty of fat in this soup to make it quite satiating. Enjoy! Click here to view the PDF version.

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe avocado
1 handful of spinach, about 4 cups
1/2 - 3/4 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
chipotle pepper, cored and seeded, chopped to garnish (optional)

Preparation

Remove the peel and pit of the avocado then add it to a blender. Then add the spinach, ½ cup of the broth, lemon juice and the oil.
Blend on high until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved, adding up to another ¼ cup of broth for desired thickness. Serve in large bowl. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of chipotle pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
If heating, place in a saucepan on medium heat and heat until warmed through.
