DIRECTIONS
Heat the ghee or olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for a minute or so. Next add the vegetable broth and the broccoli florets and bring to a simmer. After 2 minutes add the peas and simmer for a further few minutes – do not overcook! Throw in the spinach to cook and wilt at the end. The broccoli should still be bright green.
Pour the veg soup, lemon juice and chermoula into a blender (you may need to do this in batches) and blend on the highest setting until smooth taking care as you wizz, you don’t want green soup all over your kitchen ceiling. Season to taste.
To serve, pour the soup into bowls. Add a drizzle of double cream and some parsley or coriander if you have some to hand.
