- 3 Leeks
- 1 Head broccoli
- ½ Savoy cabbage
- Handful edamame beans

- Pour in 1300ml of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes
- For the brightest colour, avoid overcooking the broccoli, kale and spinach.
- Blend in batches and take care when blending hot soup.
- Prefer a thicker soup? Reduce the water slightly or add an extra potato.
- For a lighter version, replace the cream with crème fraîche, Greek yoghurt, or leave it out altogether.
