With a continued commitment to living "green," and eating healthy, I decided to make a wonderful vegan cream of broccoli soup!

Today's Lunch Menu:
Cream of broccoli soup with avacado
Falafel with roasted garlic hummus
Steamed artichoke

Here is the cream of broccoli soup recipe that I used.  It's YUMMALICOUS!

CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP

Ingredients: (Use organic when possible)

2Tbsp. olive oil
1 white onion, diced
2 cups broccoli
1 Tbsp. grapeseed oil
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 can coconut milk
Sea salt to taste
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 tsp. Herbes de Provence (Spice Hunter)
2 1/2 cups diced avocado

Dice the onion and peel and chop the broccoli stems into small pieces.  Set the crowns aside.  In a soup pot, heat the oils on medium low and gently saute the onion and broccoli stems for approximately 5 minutes.  Add the vegetable broth and broccoli florets (chopped), the seasonings, and let simmer for 15 minutes on low.  Remove from heat, and let the soup cool.  Puree the soup, and pour it back into the pot, adding the coconut milk.  Heat.  Serve with diced avocado's on top. 





Bon appetite!
