Celery: Brings an earthy crunch and a clean finish.
Garlic: Powerful immune booster and flavor powerhouse.
All Spice & Cumin Powder: Warm spices that add comforting depth and a touch of complexity.

Kale Leaves: I love kale here—it’s a total nutrient bomb and blends well without strong flavor.
Baby Spinach: Mellow and tender, it rounds out the greens perfectly.

Make It Your Way

One of the things I appreciate about the Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup Recipe is how easy it is to tweak. Whether you want it creamier, spicier, or even lighter, it adapts perfectly to your mood and pantry.

Variation: I sometimes stir in a splash of coconut milk instead of cream for a lovely tropical twist, especially when I'm craving a dairy-free version.
Extra Greens: Don’t hesitate to toss in other leafy greens like Swiss chard or beet greens if you have them on hand.
Spice Kick: A pinch of chili flakes works wonders if you want a little gentle heat.

Step-by-Step: How I Make Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup Recipe

Step 1: Sauté Your Aromatics until Soft and Smelling Amazing

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the diced onion, leek, celery, garlic, and chopped fennel. Let them work their magic for about 5 minutes until they soften and fill your kitchen with that irresistible cozy aroma. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to coax out every bit of flavor.

Step 2: Bring in the Spices

Add the all spice and cumin powders to the pot and cook for about 1 minute, just long enough for the spices to bloom and release their warm fragrance. This step really builds the flavor foundation of the soup so don’t rush it!

Step 3: Simmer the Veggies to Perfect Tenderness

Pour in the water, then add the potato cubes, broccoli florets and chopped stalks, plus salt and pepper. Give it a good stir and bring the pot to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Keep the lid off and let it cook for about 7 minutes until the broccoli becomes tender but not mushy—this ensures it stays vibrant and flavorful.

Step 4: Add Peas for Sweetness

Pop in the frozen peas, stir, and simmer for another minute. These little gems add a lovely pop of sweetness and color to the mix.

Step 5: Blitz in the Greens

Take the pot off the heat. Push the kale leaves into the broth, soaking them well, then blend the soup with a stick blender until mostly smooth. Next, add the baby spinach and blend again until the soup reaches your preferred texture—somewhere between silky smooth and a little bit rustic with tiny vibrant green flecks. This texture is how I personally enjoy it the most.

Step 6: Creamy Finish and Serving

Stir in the thickened cream last to give it a rich, comforting finish. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with a bit more cream or olive oil, sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds, and you’re all set to enjoy. The textures and flavors meld into something truly nourishing and delicious.

Top Tip

Over the years, I’ve learned a few little tricks that turn this Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup Recipe from good to unforgettable. Here’s what I’ve found helpful so you can get the best results without any stress.

Don’t Skip the Fennel: Even if you don’t like the taste of fennel raw, once cooked in this soup it adds subtle complexity without standing out sharply.
Blending Texture: Use a stick blender in stages—blending kale and spinach separately helps retain a fresh green texture while keeping the soup creamy.
Toasting Seeds: Always toast your sunflower seeds or nuts in a dry pan before garnishing to unlock their nutty aroma and crunch.
Season Gradually: Add salt and pepper in steps, tasting as you go so you don’t over-season—especially before adding cream.

How to Serve Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup Recipe

Garnishes

I love finishing this soup with toasted sunflower seeds—they add a perfect nutty crunch. Sometimes I switch to homemade garlic croutons for a heartier bite or drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil for a silky shine. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives also brighten it up beautifully.

Side Dishes

Pair your Green Goddess Soup with a crusty sourdough bread or a warm whole grain roll to soak up the luscious broth. A simple mixed green salad with a zesty lemon dressing is a refreshing side that complements the soup’s richness.

Creative Ways to Present

For a special lunch with friends, I’ve served this soup in hollowed-out mini pumpkin bowls—it looks stunning and keeps the soup warm. Another fun idea is to layer the soup in clear mugs with a sprinkle of toasted seeds on top for a casual yet beautiful presentation.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

I usually cool leftover soup to room temperature before transferring it to airtight containers. Stored in the fridge, it lasts nicely for up to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before reheating as some separation can happen, but it blends back perfectly.

Freezing

This soup freezes really well, which is a lifesaver when you make a big batch. I freeze it in portions using freezer-safe containers or resealable bags. When you're ready, just thaw overnight in the fridge and warm gently on the stove.

Reheating

I reheat on low heat, stirring often to keep the texture smooth. If it’s a bit thick after refrigerating or freezing, add a splash of water or broth to bring it back to your desired consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make the Immunity Boosting Green Goddess Soup Recipe vegan?

Absolutely! Swap the thickened cream for a plant-based alternative like coconut cream or a vegan cream available in many stores. The flavor stays richly satisfying.

What if I don’t have kale?

No worries! You can replace kale with more baby spinach or even frozen spinach or kale that's been thawed and squeezed of excess water. The soup’s flavor will still be amazing.

Can I prepare this soup ahead of time?

Yes, the soup can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Just reheat gently before serving. It also freezes well for longer storage if you want to prep meals in advance.

What’s the best way to toast seeds for garnish?

I preheat a dry pan over medium high heat, then add the seeds, stirring frequently for just a few minutes until they’re lightly golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
