Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 1 pound fresh kale, chopped
• 12 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup uncooked long-grain wild rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil until until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 30 minutes more.

Step 2

Pour vegetable broth into a pot and place over medium heat. Add rice and minced garlic; stir in kale and spinach, adding more broth if necessary. Add onions to the pot. Allow the greens to reduce and rice to fully cook, about 45 minutes.

Step 3

Use an immersion blender to blend to desired consistency. Add goat cheese and use the blender again to create a creamy texture. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
