For Topping:
1 teaspoon of cold-pressed extra virgin organic olive oil

1. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, add chopped zucchini, potatoes and onion. Add 6 cups of broth or enough liquid to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
2. Add sliced kale and broccoli and continue to simmer until they turn bright green. Immediately turn off heat.
