Easy Broccoli Soup

Tonight's Dinner: Broccoli Soup and a Big Hunk of Salmon

After listening to the rain patter on the windows all day long while being stuck inside at work, the weather turned absolutely beautiful right as I was walking out to my car this afternoon.  I quickly chomped on a handful of baby carrots when I got home, and then the hubby and I took a long walk through the nearby neighborhoods.  With a slight breeze and the sun shining, it was a perfect day to get outside and get some fresh air. It gave me the burst of energy I needed to make something tasty, healthy and new for dinner!

We buy giant bags of frozen organic broccoli from Costco ($5.99 for a four pound bag!) on a weekly basis, and I was looking for a new way to eat it tonight. Normally, I just boil some water, throw in the broccoli for about 10 minutes, drain, then serve with salt, pepper and butter. Tonight, though, I was feeling adventurous! Why not blend it up into a liquid palatable not only to people with teeth, but also people without??! Why not, indeed!!

This recipe is ridiculously easy with only six ingredients. And it actually tastes good. If you like broccoli, you're going to like it. BAM!

Broccoli Soup
16 oz frozen broccoli
1 tsp ghee
2-3 cups of bone broth
1 dash of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Add all of the above to a medium sized pan. Bring to a boil. Once the broccoli is tender, transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, returning to the heat if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes 3 servings.
