For anyone with high cholesterol, chia seeds are an incredible way to bring the high numbers down so this soup would be wonderful for that. Iโm going to try it with the broccoli. Sounds so warming as winter comes!!!!
Do you add water if youโre using stock? Thanks!
No need to add water if you are using a liquid stock Debbie.
Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!!
I am wondering if you have ever tried this as a broccoli soup? Iโm not a huge fan of cauliflower, and would prefer the broccoli.
Thanks!!
I have never tried making this soup with broccoli as it is one of my least favorite vegetables Kathy, but it should work.
