Receta Broccoli and Bacon Soup -
It has been so cold and rainy so I thought another soup was in order It's just as comforting as a Pea soup, yet somewhat lighterIt has a lovely thick consistency that resembles a Pea soup. The saltiness of the bacon enhances the flavour to a new level.
I try to eat broccoli, be it frozen or fresh every week. So versatile It has excellent cancer fighting and preventative properties due to it's high levels of phytochemicals/nutrients.
