This is a perennial favourite — packed full of iron from both the greens and the seaweed. We first started serving this soup during summer yoga retreats in Bhutan, where peppery watercress grows rampant.

Introducing greens to your day is easy. The key is to try and include them in every meal. This approach benefits those following a raw diet; sulfur-containing chemicals causes enzymatic activity in the liver to support the processing of toxins. 

Serves 4

'GREEN GODDESS' SOUP

1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic

60g / 2 1/2 oz (2 1/2 cups) English spinach

250g / 9 oz (7 cups) watercress

55g / 2 oz (2 firmly packed cups) basil leaves

40g / 1 1/2 oz (2 firmly packed cups) flat-leaf parsley leaves

250 ml (1 cup) young coconut water

Sea salt and ground white pepper to taste

3 teaspoons raw honey

50 ml (scant 1/4 cup or 2 fl oz) lemon juice


 

TO SERVE

125g (1 1/2 cup) avocado crush (Avocado masjed with lemon juice, tabasco, sea salt and black pepper to taste)
20g / 3/4 oz (1 /4 cup) Hijiki seaweed (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes) 
9g / 1/3 oz (1/4 cup) watercress leaves
 

METHOD

To make the 'Green Goddess' soup, place the onion, garlic, spinach, watercress, herbs and coconut water in a blender and blend until smooth.

Season with sea salt and a grind of white pepper, then add the honey and lemon juice. (If the soup is being made ahead of time, store in a fridge without adding the lemon juice until the time of serving.)

Blend to combine.

To serve, pour the soup into chilled bowls. Top with a quenelle of avocado crush and scatter with seaweed and watercress leaves.
