Meatless Monday’s: Broccoli & Ginger Soup
This soup is a delightful blend of fresh, earthy broccoli, and the zesty kick of ginger, perfectly complemented by the subtle warmth of turmeric. Imagine sautéed leeks mingling with tender broccoli florets and creamy potatoes, all simmered together in a rich vegetable stock until wonderfully soft. A quick blend transforms this medley into a silky, smooth soup, topped off with a dollop of natural yogurt and a sprinkle of crunchy sunflower seeds for that extra bit of texture. It's a nourishing, flavor-packed bowl that's perfect for any time you need a little comfort and a lot of taste.
