In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the Remaining Veggies:
Stir in the zucchini, potato, spinach, and kale. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the greens to wilt slightly.
Simmer the Soup:
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup:
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks for texture. Alternatively, transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Add Creaminess and Flavor:
Stir in the coconut milk, smoked paprika, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. If you want a more "swampy" green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well.
Serve and Garnish:
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with crumbled blue cheese or feta (to resemble "mold"), croutons (to resemble "rocks"), and fresh parsley or cilantro (to resemble "algae").
