I\u00a0 enjoy eating soup all year long, but since the weather is finally warming up like to have a lighter soup to compliment the foods I eat in the spring and the weather.\u00a0 This soup will add a nice course to a meal without adding calories and fat (I know I will be glad I made and ate this when pictures in shorts, swimsuits and sundresses turn up in the next few months). I created this recipe one night after work based on the foods I had on hand and was quite impressed with the result. It gave the feel and taste of a cream of broccoli soup, which is always a favorite.<\/div>\n

Ingredients:\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
    \n
  • 1 head of cauliflower<\/li>\n
  • 3 cups broccoli (can be frozen)<\/li>\n
  • 1 medium yellow onion<\/li>\n
  • 6 cups water<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon oregano<\/li>\n
  • 4 cups fresh spinach<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons Better-Than-Bullion<\/li>\n
  • salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    1. Chop cauliflower. Add cauliflower, Better-Than-Bullion, oregano, garlic, onion, and salt and pepper to medium pot and boil for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

    2. Puree all ingredients in pot with hand immersion blender.<\/p>\n

    3. Chop broccoli and chiffonade spinach, then add to pot and cook over medium heat for 40-60 minutes.<\/p>\n

    You could very easily substitute or add extra vegetables or even chicken to this soup. I contemplated adding chopped carrots initially, but decided to keep it a little more simple the first time.<\/p>\n

    Hope you enjoy this spring soup! And for an extra treat, here’s a picture of the girls recently when we were enjoying the sunshine on the roof:<\/p>\n
