BROCCOLI AND BEAN SOUP

Broccoli and Bean Soup image

I like this recipe because it is easy to make and works with my Nutritarian eating style. You can use frozen chopped broccoli to speed up prep time. Any low sodium white bean will work in this recipe.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

Place all ingredients in large saucepan (3 quarts or more).
Bring soup to a boil, stirring several times so bottom doesn't burn.

Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender or food processor. Do not over blend.
