This nutritious broccoli soup recipe is high in fiber and free of wheat and cow’s milk dairy, making it a perfect choice for an elimination diet. It’s an excellent source of folate and vitamin C, a good source of calcium, and is rich in healthy phytonutrients like carotenoids and indoles. Use all organic ingredients for optimal nutrition.
Makes approximately four one-cup servings.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. broccoli flower clusters
5 medium spring onions or scallions, including tops & bulb
3 medium celery stalks
3 cups organic chicken broth
1 cup Veggie Shreds — Soy Cheese
Seasonings to taste such as Spike, Veg It, salt and pepper
Directions:
Cut up vegetables and cook in broth with seasonings until vegetables are just tender (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Scoop by cupfuls into blender and puree. Once soup is all pureed it is ready to eat. Each serving may be topped with ¼ cup organic cheddar or soy cheese. Great with rice crackers or rye crackers for a wheat-free compliment. Even though this recipe uses only the broccoli florets, you can still use the stalks as a nutritious raw vegetable snack. Simply discard the bottom 1 or 2 inches, and slice into thin sticks as you would a carrot.
