Pleasant low-calorie soup

You can make this a lot of ways. Here’s what I did today:

1 large onion, chopped
a few cloves garlic, chopped

Sauté those in 2 Tbsp Lucini Fiery Chili EV Olive Oil until softened

Add:

1.5 qt chicken stock (because I used 0.5 qt on the braised chard with chicken and steel-cut oats)
1 carrot, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 heads broccoli, chopped
1 bunch spinach, rinsed
Salt
Pepper

Bring to boil and then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Blend—I used my immersion blender.

You could thicken this (add a little flour thoroughly mixed in with water), but I don’t find it necessary. I would normally have used 2 qts of stock, but since 1.5 qts is what I had…

You could also add herbs: thyme might be good, and marjoram.
