Broccoli Soup

Throughout my healing journey, soups have been a staple. I love how versatile they are and how one little bowl is jam packed with nutrients that fuel my body throughout the day. Whether warm or cold, soups have a way of filling your heart, kinda like a hug in a bowl ♥

Broccoli is considered a superfood with a vast catalog of nutrients and antioxidants.

Some of it’s health benefits include;

• tons of folic acid that helps with hair growth
• packed with vitamin k for blood clotting and blood coagulation
• has a high calcium content that helps develop strong bones and teeth
• contains selenium for thyroid metabolism and regulating chest congestion
• magnesium for stress relief and estrogen metabolism making it a lovely meal option during ones cycle
• the dietary fiber found in broccoli supports digestion

This easy recipe contains no dairy and I love to serve it with toasty bread
