Creamy Broccoli Soup























This soup is mildly cooked to retain enzymes and nutrient value of the veggies. I love this with a side of avocado spread on top of yeast free, whole grain bread.

2 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (cold pressed)
1 Onion, diced
4 cups Broccoli Florets
4 cups Vegetable Broth or Water
2 Tbs. Coconut Cream Concentrate
Real Salt and Pepper to taste

Chop broccoli into small pieces and set aside. In a large pot heat the oil on medium low. Saute onion for about 5 minutes then add broth and broccoli. Cover with a lid and turn heat to high for 5 minutes. Then turn heat off for another 5 minutes. Broccoli should be lightly cooked not overcooked. Remove from heat and let cool, uncovered. Pour half of the soup into a blender and puree. Add blended soup back into the pot (you can achieve the same results with a handheld mixer). Once soup has cooled for at least 5 minutes, after taken off heat, add coconut cream and mix in thoroughly. Serve immediately.

We made this yesterday, thank you for yet another great recipe! Btw, if you like Germany, maybe you could post a healthy German recipe.... (or is "healthy" and "German food" an oxymoron?!)

You might be right about it being an oxymoron but I am always up for a challenge. I'll have to see what I can do.
