Spinach Basil Soup -Vegan (Dairy and Gluten Free)

Some recipes just come out of whatever is left in the fridge.  We will be going away for the weekend so I wanted to use up some spinach and the basil too.  So this is what became of the fridge leftovers.  This soup is not only nutritious but it tastes great too.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 stalks chopped celery
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 bunch chopped basil (3/4 cup)
• 6 tightly packed cups spinach
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne or to taste
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

1. In a large pot, sauté onions with oil until clear.  Add garlic  and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
2. Add all remaining ingredients and cook until potato is soft (approximately 20 minutes.)
3. Purée until smooth.
