Brilliant Brassica Soup

Brilliant Brassica Soup

That old adage of an apple a day keeps the doctor away could easily be replaced by a serving of broccoli a day keeps the doctor away! The brassica family of vegetables includes cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. Besides adding flavour to meals these vegetables are packed with antioxidants, which may help lower the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease as well as supporting healthy estrogen metabolism.

This recipe is from Dr Libby's cookbook Real Food Kitchen
