This simple “Cream” of Broccoli Soup combines the health benefits of bone broth, the cruciferous broccoli with all of its vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and the good monounsaturated fats of avocado. Plus, it’s delicious! This makes a fairly thick, hearty soup. If you prefer cream of broccoli soup a little thinner add an extra ½-1 cup bone broth. Serves 2-3.
