This easy-cooking Broccoli soup is full of nutrition. It provides you with Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene), Vitamin K, Folic Acid, Calcium and Fibre. Broccoli has the ability to control high-blood pressure and has also been quoted to prevent colon cancer. Recent research discovered that the vegetable helps with the detoxification process due to its content of Glucoraphanin, Gluconasturian and Glucobrassicin.

All these are useful in helping the activation, elimination and neutralisation of unwanted contaminants. Naturopaths also propose that Broccoli helps prevent heart diseases and cataracts. Those who suffer from acute or chronic constipation will also find Broccoli as an ideal dish as it is rich in fibre.

Ingredients:

2 Medium-sized Broccoli bundle, separate the flowers
