I always use broccoli and spinach, but you could use greens, cabbage, kale or whatever you have to hand.
The below makes a large batch, of which you can freeze some and defrost as and when required.

Here's how:
- 1 head broccoli
- Pack of spinach, washed
- Cup of peas
- 2 large spring onions
- 2 sticks celery
- Fresh ginger root - about 40g or 3-4cm long
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garam masala
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp back pepper
- 1/2 lime
- Handful fresh coriander and parsley
- 800ml water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Firstly add the olive oil to a large, heavy bottomed pan and place on a low heat.
Slice the spring onions, celery and garlic cloves and add to the pan.
Peel and slice the ginger and add to the pan - allow all to soften slightly,
Now add the cumin, salt, pepper and garam masala and squeeze over the half of lime juice. Allow to cook for a few minutes, the soup base should take on a brown hue.
In the meantime, chop the broccoli into florets, and wash the spinach, if it isn't already prepared.
Add the broccoli and peas into the pan and allow to fry for a moment or two, then pour over the water and allow to cook for ten to fifteen minutes, or until the broccoli is tender to touch with a fork.
Now add the spinach and the coriander and parsley - no need to chop, and stir through, allowing to cook for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while.
