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!
MY LATEST VIDEOSKale 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!
