Heat 1/4 cup vegetable stock in a large pan, add the onion, and cook on medium until soft. If the onion becomes too dry add a little more stock.
Add the celery, garlic, leeks, broccoli, zucchini, potatoes, savory herbs, freshly ground black pepper, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to combine and cook for a minute or two.
To the pot stir in the fresh herbs and pour in 4 cups of vegetable stock, then the kale and nutritional yeast.
Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer and partially cover the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Blend the soup, adding the coconut milk if desired. If the soup is too thick add more vegetable stock.
Taste and add the lemon juice and to “lift” the soup and more black pepper if needed.
Serve with suggested toppings.
