A broccoli soup packed full of nutrition and flavour. Great for lunch or dinner.
This soup was better than I thought it would be due to the “kick” of the ginger. I had initially thought of coconut and Broccoli simply because they were two ingredients in my fridge that needed to be cooked…but suspected that the combination would be a bit too bland. So, voila Ginger! You tap dancing, jazz hand spice! You lifted it up and I am thankful! I had a huge bowl for lunch and enjoyed it!
