I know it doesn’t look good! Just trust me!

 

2-4 c. vegetable or chicken broth
3 T. organic butter

½ c. sliced peeled cucumber
1 c. fresh parsley leaves
1 c. firmly packed spinach leaves, thoroughly washed
1 c. watercress, coarse stems discarded

 

In a 2 quart saucepan, simmer broth and butter with broccoli scallions, celery and cucumber. Stir occasionally until broccoli stems are tender, about 10 minutes. Add parsley, spinach and watercress and cook for 5 more minutes.

 

In a blender, puree mixtures in batches and transfer back to pan. Heat soup over moderately low heat.

 

Garnish soup with dill or a fresh herb of your choice and serve.
