01
Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent—this should take about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat down to low and keep cooking the onions gently, stirring now and then, until they’re really soft and a deep brown color. This slow caramelizing will take around 30 minutes.

Step 2
While the onions are cooking, pour your vegetable broth into a pot and warm it over medium heat. Add the rice and minced garlic, then stir in the kale and spinach. If the broth looks like it’s getting low, feel free to add a bit more. Once the onions are ready, stir them into the pot. Let everything simmer together until the greens have wilted down and the rice is tender—this usually takes about 45 minutes.

Step 3
When everything’s cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches the consistency you like. Toss in the goat cheese and blend again until the soup is nice and creamy. Finally, finish it off with a splash of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good stir, and you’re ready to enjoy!
