Green Goddess Soup

Step 1: Heat the oil in a very large pot (6 L/qt) over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, leek, celery, garlic and fennel for 5 minutes, until softened.

Step 2: Add the allspice and cumin, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 3: Add the water, potato, broccoli, salt and pepper. Stir, bring to a simmer and simmer uncovered for 7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

Step 4: Add the peas and simmer for 1 minute.

Step 5: Remove the pot from the stove. Add the kale and push it under the liquid, then blend with a stick blender until mostly smooth. Add the spinach, push it under the liquid and blend again until as smooth as possible, about 3 to 5 minutes. The soup will be smooth with little green bits for texture.

Step 6: Stir in the cream. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with extra cream and/or olive oil, and finish with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds.
