Creamy Broccoli Spinach Soup

| 02/20/2014 | Reply

This soup is great either hot or cold. It tastes delicious, too.  Super low in fat, no cholesterol, low in sodium and high in fiber (about 10 grams per 1 cup serving), you can’t go wrong.  Eat it with a salad or chickpea salad sandwich for a stick to your ribs lunch or dinner.  To make the soup smooth and “creamy”, you will need either a blender or food processor.
