Creamy or Crunchy Broccoli Soup

Time: 15 minutes
Serves: not specified
Notes: This high-protein soup is for broccoli lovers!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups vegetable stock or water
• 3-4 cups broccoli, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 red or yellow onions, chopped
• 1 avocado
• 1-2 stalks celery, cut in large pieces
• braggs liquid amino to taste
• cumin and ginger to taste
  

Preparation:
In an electric skillet, warm 2 cups of water or stock, keeping the temperature at or below 118 (finger test). Add the chopped broccoli and warm for 5 minutes. In a blender, puree the warmed broccoli, bell pepper, onion, avocado, and celery, thinning with additional water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency. If desired, save the broccoli stalks, peeling off the tough outer skin; process them in a food processor until they are small chunks, and add to the soup just before serving to add crunch! Serve warm, flavoring with bragg’s, fresh ginger, cumin or any other spices you like. Add a slice of lemon on top to garnish.
