Blended Broc (and more!) Soup

As you know, I've raved in posts about making bone broth for healing, nutritional, and recipe use... well add another recipe to the list to use with the surplus of goodness you'll get out of it (and if you choose not to make the broth, pick up some organic veggie or chicken broth at the store to make this healthy and delicious soup!).

Play with this recipe-I based it loosely off of Dr. Mercola's, but you can definitely make it your own based on nutritional needs and taste preferences-mix up the milk, broth, herbs, spices, and veggies until you find the perfect blend for you... see mine below!

• 1T Coconut (or other) oil
• 1-2 Cloves of garlic, diced
• 1/4 Red (or yellow, green) onion, diced
• 1-2 Heads of fresh broccoli (preferable organic)
• 1c Greens (spinach, kale, or a combo)
• Handful of fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, basil, etc)-can also do smaller amount of dried
• 2-4c Veggie or chicken broth
• 1-2c Coconut milk (or any milk)
• Pinch of salt
• Dash or 2 of hot sauce

1. Heat oil in large pan 
2. Saute garlic and onion for a couple of minutes (look for them to be translucent) 
3. Add broccoli, greens, herbs, and a cup of the broth
4. Steam it all, covered (I used a pot lid that didn't even fit but it worked!), for 5-10 minutes or until the broccoli is a bright green
5. Add it all to blender or food processor with the remaining broth, milk, salt, and hot sauce (you may need to do this in 2 batches if you make a larger portion)
6. Puree and stick in the fridge until ready to serve
7. Reheat (or serve chilled!!) and Enjoy

Can't even emphasize all the healthy properties from EACH of these ingredients... my son even enjoyed it!  It's super tasty... Thanks for reading, and let me know if you add or sub anything in this recipe!!  You can always add some cheese if you need a little indulgence-Stay Chic, Stay Healthy;)
