Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent browning.
  2. Step 2: Pour in 2 cups bone broth and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, then reduce heat to low.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 diced avocado (medium, peeled) and 2 cups fresh spinach, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts and the avocado is heated through. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
