This is one of my favorite soups, partly because it’s so easy. I like to use all of the broccoli, including the stalk. You can also save your broccoli stalks that you might throw away, and use them to make this soup. The color won’t be as intense, but it’s a great way to save money and avoid waste. I also have a recipe for Vegan Mashed Broccoli, which is similar, just with less liquid. These recipes can be made paleo or vegan. For some added nutrition, I love using bone both in this recipe, but a vegetable stock or water works just as well. This recipe will be included in the ebook I’m working on called Easy Blended Vegetable Soups, which will be available for free to my monthly newsletter subscribers.
