There is a trend called happy food. So it’s about food that lifts the mood and creates a good mood. And, it doesn’t have to be the chickpeas are used. Rather, it is about the color of the food being prepared. And the color green represents energy. Broccoli basil soup gives you energy and vitamins that keep you fit – physically and mentally.
Broccoli and basil soup doesn’t drain your energy either, because it’s so quick to prepare. So you don’t have to exert yourself physically. Hot salt water and a hand blender do most of the work. You can also replace the latter with a food processor. Afterwards, clothes and the kitchen floor remain reliably clean. We love broccoli and have tons of recipes using the healthy vegetable.
