Broccoli Soup with Turmeric Cream Recipe
Join us @ www.helladelicious.com. Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables and is a comfort food for me. It is also one of the Cruciferae family and as a result is an excellent cancer fighter, among other things. Broccoli has been proven to be especially effective in preventing lung cancer and as a result is highly recommended for anyone who is smoking or who has just quit smoking as a means of cleansing the lungs. This is a good way to cook broccoli as opposed to blanching it as many of it's vitamins and minerals are water soluble
