Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup peas fresh or frozen
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh chives chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

To finish

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs finely grated
  • Extra dill and chives for garnish
  • Drizzle of olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add miso paste and keep stirring.
  • Add the asparagus and broccoli and cook for 3–4 minutes to deepen their flavor. season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in the spinach and peas, dill and chives, and cook for another 2–3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts and the peas are bright green.
  • Blend the soup with an immersion blender (or in batches in a blender) until smooth and creamy.
  • Ladle into bowls and finish with a generous sprinkle of finely grated hard-boiled egg, a few extra herbs, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the greens. Add the spinach and herbs toward the end and cook just until wilted. This keeps the color vibrant and the flavor fresh instead of dull and overly soft!
  • Blend carefully. If using a countertop blender, work in batches and don’t overfill it. I also recommend letting it cool slightly so that the lid doesn’t pop off of the blender due to the heat! Once blended, you can heat it back up in the pot.
  • Season as you go. Lightly season at each stage instead of all at once at the end. This helps build a more balanced, layered flavor throughout the soup.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Dill and chives really brighten up the entire dish, so fresh is best here. If you have extra, sprinkle more on top right before serving!
