Add avocado oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add onions & celery- & season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add in the water, broccoli, & zucchini- raise heat and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and cover, let simmer for about 10 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
Turn off heat and stir in the kale, fresh herbs, & nutritional yeast and let the greens wilt.
Allow to cool off for a few minutes and use an immersion blender to puree (or transfer to blender-make sure its not hot!)
Add red chili flakes & season with more salt & pepper if needed. Don’t be afraid to season generously here since we used water not broth.
Add fresh lemon juice & desired toppings. Don’t skip the lemon it really enhances the flavor! Serve with your fave crackers or bread!
