Ingredients
  1. 1 leek
  2. 1 inch cube fresh ginger
  3. 1 peeled carrot
  4. 5 cloves fresh garlic
  5. 8 oz fresh raw spinach
  6. 4 cups filtered water
  7. 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  8. 1/2 teaspoon salt + pepper to taste
  9. 1/2 avocado
  10. 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
  1. Prep leek by cutting off green stalk, slice down the middle and wash under running water
  2. Slice leek cross way into 1 inch pieces
  3. Peel off outer skin of ginger and slice into 4 pieces
  4. Rough cut carrot into 4-5 pieces
  5. Rough chop garlic
  6. Place spinach + first four ingredients in stock pot; place on burner
  7. Pour water and broth over vegetables
  8. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes
  9. Once all the vegetables are tender, place in a blender or food processor; puree in batches if necessary; use extreme caution to not add too much at one time. The liquid is hot and will easily expand while blending.

  1. Add hot sauce for an added kick!
  2. If you like a New Mexican flair, add one small can green Chile to the pot in step number 6.
