Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup

Making soup has to be the easiest way to get loads of vegetables into your children. Broccoli and cauliflower are from the cruciferous family (so is kale, cabbage and brussel sprouts) which are full of sulphur containing compounds and glucosinolates, which might help lower your risk of cancer.

They are full of antioxidants, vitaminCc, fibre, vitamin K, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, folate, vitamin A. They are pretty much a one stop shop for vitamins, minerals and fibre. And for only 5g carbs per bowl, this is an absolutely fabulous meal.

And for only 5g carbs per bowl, this is an absolutely fabulous meal. Make extra and freeze portions to take to work for lunch. Reheat in the microwave for a quick, nutritious, cheap lunch.

    Lovely soup … used 500 grams frozen broccoli, 500 grams frozen cauli and a cup (250 ml) reduced salt chicen stock with all other ingredients. Cooked on low on stovetop until veges and bacon softened and then blitzed … 6 net carbs total per serve. I got 5 250 ml serves for 5 working days. Will add 2 boiled eggs for a low carb lunch. Thanks Libby 😊

    I love your website and the recipes. I just have a problem when ingredients are listed in grams. I have a hard time converting them. Like 50 g of butter.

      50 grams is almost close to 1/4 cup. Try looking for a gram convertor

    That sounds divine! I bet I could even get my hubby to eat it. Any idea what the carb per serving is, by chance? Thanks for the awesome recipes!

      I calculated it to be 5g carbs per bowl. If you add more cream cheese on top then it is a bit more. So glad to know you’re enjoying my recipes. x
