This is an easy creamy broccoli soup recipe that is tasty. It is filled with nutritious superfoods which broccoli is for sure. You will love the creaminess from the coconut milk which keeps it vegan. This soup only has healthy ingredients and no unhealthy heavy cream added to it.

The main ingredient in the creamy broccoli soup is broccoli which is packed full of health benefits for you. It is helpful for the heart, reduces the risk of cancer and is good for blood sugar control for diabetics. It is high in fiber, protein and detoxifying phytochemicals and one cup of cooked broccoli only has 31 calories and no fat. Broccoli is one of the many alkaline-forming foods that help prevent cellular damage to the eyes and may even slow the aging process.

Potatoes are one of the most commonly eaten vegetables on the planet and it has its fans and its enemies. Learn about its many health benefits (the good) its health concerns (the bad) and its controversial effect on weight management (the ugly). In this creamy broccoli soup, the potatoes give it a creamy substance.

WHO recognizes that Onions help relieve symptoms such as coughs, congestion asthma, and respiratory infections. Onions are full of protective phytonutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, quercetin (an important flavonoid), chromium, and unique anti-inflammatory nutrients.

To get the most health benefits from Garlic, let it sit for a minimum of 5 minutes, after cutting and before eating or cooking. Waiting for 5 – 10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. If you do not let it sit, allicin is never formed, so it is worth the wait. Add some garlic to your soups, stews, and salad dressing recipes to lower high cholesterol. Sometimes it is easier to use some Organic Freeze Dried Garlic so no chopping and peeling.

Coconut Oil Has Super Amazing Health Benefits For You

Coconut oil is actually very good for us. In tropical climates like Polynesia, Sri Lanka and the Yucatan where they have a diet high in coconut oil, the people are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer and colon problems than unsaturated fat eaters. It is now accepted that there is good cholesterol and there are good saturated fats. Learn the 12 benefits of Coconut Oil, this newly declared an Amazing SuperFood.

Celery is a negative calorie food, meaning it takes the body more calories to digest it than the food itself contains making it a very good food for weight loss. One stalk of celery has only a few calories because it is full of healthy cellulose. It is 95% water, very alkaline and filled with fiber. Its weight loss benefits are well known but you would be surprised at its other amazing properties.

Pine nuts have many of the same health benefits as other nuts. In numerous studies, the consumption of nuts was found to lower waist circumference, blood pressure, insulin resistance and increase high cholesterol. I love to sprinkle a few of these nuts on top of my creamy broccoli soup.
