A Symphony of Fresh Flavors

Nourishing Lab's Broccoli and Arugula Soup is a symphony of simple, yet complementary flavors. The earthy sweetness of broccoli pairs with the peppery bite of arugula, creating a taste bud-tingling contrast. A hint of onion and garlic adds depth and complexity, while a squeeze of lemon brightens the entire dish.

Nourishing from the Inside Out

This soup is more than just a delicious meal; it's a nutritional powerhouse. Broccoli and arugula are both loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them ideal for boosting your immune system and sending some love to your liver. Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, while arugula is a great source of vitamins A, K, and folate.

Beyond the Bowl

This soup can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a satisfying starter, or even a cozy main course. Pair it with a crusty piece of bread (my favorite is fresh sourdough) for dipping, or top it with your favorite garnishes like toasted nuts, seeds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Nourishing Lab's Broccoli and Arugula Soup is more than just a meal; it's an experience. It's a chance to nourish your body with fresh, wholesome ingredients and enjoy the simple pleasures of whole foods.

Here are some additional tips for enjoying Nourishing Lab's Broccoli and Arugula Soup:

• Get creative with your garnishes! Try adding a dollop of pesto, a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

• This soup is also great for meal prep. Simply make a big batch on the weekend and enjoy it throughout the week.

• If you're looking for a thicker soup, simply blend in less broth.

Recipe:

• Ingredients:
  1 cups Frozen Broccoli Florets

  2.5 cups Vegetable Broth

  ½ cup Leeks (white part, washed well and thinly sliced)

  ¼ cup Coconut Milk

  1 clove Garlic, grated

  ½ Tbsp. Olive Oil

  .5 cups Baby Arugula

  Salt (optional, depends on saltiness of broth)

  Pinch of Black Pepper

  2 Tbsp. Pumpkin Seeds

• Directions:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a pot.

• Once hot, add the sliced leeks and saute for 2-3 minutes.

• Add the grated garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

• Add the broccoli florets and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat so the soup is at a simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the broccoli is fork tender.

• Add the arugula and coconut milk. Once the arugula is wilted, remove the soup from the heat. Blend in a blender or using an immersion blender.

• If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add a small amount of additional broth or coconut milk. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Top with pepitas and serve!
