Soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to prepare and enjoy. Using healthy and fresh ingredients, my cream of broccoli soup provides you with flavor, nutrients, and a multitude of antioxidants. Broccoli is an excellent source of Vitamin A, C, and Folic Acid, all of which play critical roles in maintaining a healthy immune response and combating inflammation. This soup also provides healthy fats from coconut oil that are antimicrobial and help in maintaining proper cellular health. You can enjoy this soup as a meal or a side dish and add veggies to your preference!
