Soup- This soup is full

On
top of this, Broccoli is really rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamins,
minerals and anti-oxidants; it is highly beneficial to skin. It is packed with
soluble fiber that draws cholesterol out of your body. It also contains
glutathione, which is known to enhance the immune system. A cup of broccoli
contains the essential amount of protein needed for a healthy diet. Broccoli
even has significant amount of omega 3 fatty acids, which are well known as an
anti-inflammatory. It is a very important food when it comes to weight loss, so
if you’re trying to lose a few pounds, broccoli soup can be a very effective
addition to the menu.
Carrots
are very good for your eyes and skin. They help slow down the aging of cells.
They contain high level of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin
A in the liver. Vitamin A and antioxidants protect the skin from sun damage.
Deficiencies of vitamin A cause dryness to the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin A
prevents premature wrinkling, acne, dry skin, pigmentation, blemishes and
uneven skin tone.
Celery
is an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamins and minerals such as
vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium and vitamin B6. It has cholesterol-lowering
power that makes it useful for improving or maintaining heart health.
I
like my broccoli soup to be healthier so I replaced any heavy cream or cheese
or potatoes with carrots. Broccoli, carrots, and onions when pureed, creates a
deliciously creamy and smooth texture that doesn’t need any cream or plain
floor. I have also replaced butter with olive oil.
So No cheese, No cream, No butter, No flour....So healthy, so easy, yet so
yummy!!😋😋
