1Heat coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and star anise; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth; bring to a boil.
2Stir carrot tops, basil, and tarragon into the pot; simmer until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard star anise before serving.

Cook's Notes:
You can add chicken, turkey, beans, rice or serve topped with grated cheese. If adding rice, add the rice once the broth has come a boil and add the greens when the rice is almost cooked through.
Adjust the liquid should you prefer a clearer soup or leave as is for a more dense soup.
