It is fall, which is officially sweater and soup weather.  A bowl of warm and nutritious soup on a cold winter day is the perfect meal both for adults and kids. Soups do not have to be bland and can have a flavorful mix of a variety of vegetables, pastas, and grains.

One such vegetable is broccoli, which has a bad reputation with kids, but is packed with antioxidants and Vitamins K and C.

According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one cup of chopped raw broccoli (approximately 91 grams) contains 31 calories, 0 grams of fat, 6 grams of carbohydrate (including 2 grams of sugar and 2 grams of fiber) and 3 grams of protein.

Try this easy vegan broccoli soup, which you can make with almond milk or coconut milk or a blend of the two.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large broccoli
  • Water, approximately 1 cup
  • Small piece of ginger, grated or finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp of coconut milk
  • ½ a cup of almond milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh dill

Instructions:

  • Cut broccoli into small cubes.
  • Place the broccoli in a pot of water with the ginger and salt and boil.
  • Once the broccoli is tender, stir to blend it with the ginger and salt.
  • Mix the almond milk and coconut milk together and add to the broccoli mixture to get a smooth consistency
  • Garnish with fresh dill. Serve hot. A delicious and nutritious cup of soup is the answer to warming you up!
