This is another winning recipe from Ricardo. Greens are good for our health? Then this soup is perfect. I don’t like broccoli but in this soup it’s yummy. This is very simple. For a complete meal Ricardo suggests to add chickpeas. Great idea! I love to bring soups for my lunch at work. But I need filling and low-cal soup. Sure I don’t eat only that. Today I had iceburg salad with raw chopped veggies (celery, carrots, green/red bell peppers), topped with italian dressing (5 cal/tablespoon). I had a big bowl of this salad.
There is 2 tablespoon of pesto in this soup. It makes it so tasty.
