Broccoli and Kale Spicy Soup

A healthy broccoli and kale soup that is full of spicy flavour as well as being very nutritious.

I did not think that I would be able to tempt the husband with a Broccoli and Kale soup as it does not sound too inviting, but once he tasted it there were cries of "I'll have a large bowl of this".   The spices really lift the kale and broccoli and the coconut give this a lovely creamy texture.  This soups packs a bowl of nutrition as well as flavour! 

Kale and broccoli are kings of vegetables!  Kale is very high in fibre and an excellent source of nutrients,  especially Vitamin A and Calcium.  Broccoli's noteworthy nutrients include Vitamin C, Vitamin A (mostly as beta-carotene), Folic Acid, Calcium and Fibre.  Add a dash of carrots, ginger, celery and coconut and you have a bowl of soup that is so good for you!
