Homemade Creamy Broccoli Spinach Soup
The New Year is filled with lots of resolutions — eat better, get more sleep, and exercise. I’m ambitious, so I’m attempting to conquer all three — starting with eating better. This Creamy Broccoli Soup is just what you need to do just that! Loaded with spinach, broccoli, garlic, and Greek yogurt, this is a healthy, light, and refreshing soup that is sure to satisfy the whole family. Plus, no milk or cream needed, and it’s all made in just one pot!
What Is Broccoli Spinach Soup, Exactly?
This vibrant green soup has the same consistency of cream of broccoli soup without the milk or heavy cream. For flavor, I added garlic, onion, Parmesan cheese, and fresh pepper.
But how is this soup so creamy without heavy cream or milk? Tons of veggies and not too much chicken stock! The soup gets finished off with just a bit of Greek yogurt. It’s a super healthy clean soup that will make eating your daily vegetables fun!
Broccoli Spinach Soup Ingredients
This is easy broccoli soup recipe is packed with simple, wholesome ingredients. Loaded with tons of fiber and vitamins, this soup packs 4 cups of broccoli and 4 cups of spinach. That’s about 2 cups of veggies per serving!
Plus, everything gets cooked in one pot, making for an easy clean up. (Don’t worry about chopping the onions fully. They will get puréed with the soup in the blender.)
All you need to make this Creamy Broccoli Soup is: extra virgin olive oil, an onion, garlic, broccoli, low-sodium chicken stock, fresh spinach, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and plain Greek yogurt.
Serve with an extra dollop of Greek yogurt, some chopped parsley or chives, and some crusty bread to complete the meal!
How To Make Creamy Broccoli Spinach Soup
- Start by sautéing onions in olive oil in a large pot. Add garlic, and cook for one minute.
- Toss in chopped broccoli, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add stock, and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
- Remove from heat, add spinach, and cook until wilted. Toss in Parmesan cheese and pepper.
- Cool soup slightly, then add soup in two batches to a blender. (If you have an immersion blender, you can do this in the pot). Pulse until thick and smooth (about 1-2 minutes per batch). Add 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt to each batch (2 tablespoons total) and pulse to combine.
- To serve, pour broccoli soup into bowls and garnish with extra Greek yogurt, chives or parsley, fresh cracked pepper, and crusty bread. Enjoy!

This is DELICIOUS! subbed vegetable stock and added a squeeze of lemon at the end. Having some vegetable aversions during pregnancy and tremendously relieved that I now have a way to get my geens. Thank you for this great recipe.

Just made this tonight and will definitely be making it again! I doubled the garlic, and I don’t love plain yogurt, so I subbed a squeeze of lemon at the end. I also did a bunch of extra salt & pepper to taste at the end.
Right after making this soup, I thought the flavor was good but missing a final touch. I let it sit while I cleaned up the kitchen, and the soup either melded awesomely in that time or grew on me. Either way, it’s 11:30pm, which is when I’d ordinarily be scouting for, like, ice cream, and I’m sitting here eating broccoli soup.
