Easy Homemade Broccoli Soup

Have to share this EASY recipe with you for homemade broccoli soup!

1 hand-sized cluster of fresh Broccoli, broken into florets (slice & use stem too)
1/2 Onion, sliced or diced
1 cup+ Vegetable Broth
Olive Oil
Bragg's Liquid Aminos

1. Steam broccoli in a little vegetable broth. Steam only until broccoli is warm (do not let broth boil). Should still be crunchy and bright green. And you shouldn't be able to smell it cooking.
2. Saute the onions in a bit of olive oil...they become so sweet.
3. When broccoli and onions are ready, pour the broccoli then onions into your Vitamix.
4. Pour vegetable broth into the Vitamix until the liquid comes to the 1 cup mark.
5. Mix on speed 5-6 for about 30 seconds...until all ingredients are combined.
6. Pour into a bowl and add about 10 drops of Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Stir and eat!
Serves 1-2.

Delicious!

Other Options:
- I think the next time I have avocado in the house, I'm going to add 1/2 an avocado to make it even creamier.
- I was also thinking about dicing some Grape Tomatoes (or Red Peppers) and tossing them in for nutrtion & color.
