Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

  • 2 cups chopped carrots

  • 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped

  • 1 white onion, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 whole star anise pods

  • 6 ⅓ cups vegetable broth

  • ½ cup stemmed and chopped carrot tops

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and star anise; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth; bring to a boil.

  2. Stir carrot tops, basil, and tarragon into the pot; simmer until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard star anise before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can add chicken, turkey, beans, rice or serve topped with grated cheese. If adding rice, add the rice once the broth has come a boil and add the greens when the rice is almost cooked through.

Adjust the liquid should you prefer a clearer soup or leave as is for a more dense soup.
