15 Minute Breast Cancer Fighting Broccoli Soup Recipe

A cancer fighting diet is one that is high in fiber, low in fat (especially animal fat), and includes generous portions of fruits and vegetables. It also minimizes or excludes alcohol. The best diets are pure vegan diets. Always use organic ingredients when possible.

Broccoli Soup Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 pound broccoli, separate into florets
½ cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, chopped
⅓ cup vegetable broth for sautéing + 4 cups for soup
1 tablespoon of dried basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

Coarsely chop the broccoli.
In a medium soup pot, heat ⅓ cup of vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper and dried basil and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring, until the onions are translucent. Add a splash of vegetable broth if sticking.
Add the broccoli and vegetable broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low heat and simmer, uncovered for about 10 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender.
In a blender or food processor, process the soup until smooth. Add the parsley and pulse a few times.
Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently, adjusting seasoning if needed.
Top with golden croutons or nuts.

Golden Croutons are easy to make. Pre-heat oven to 400 F – Chop vegan bread (sourdough) into bite sized squares – toss with a teaspoon of olive oil and some fresh chopped herb like parsley – put on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden brown – approximately 5-10 minutes.

A healthy diet is only one of several factors that can affect the immune system and breast cancer; exercise and stress management are just as important in improving your overall health and well-being.
