Broccoli and Vegetable Soup

One of my favorite vegetable soups is broccoli, carrots, cabbage, yucca, parsley, red bell peppers, and lemon juice with chicken broth. Carrots and Parsley are good for the eyes and for controlling your sugar levels. Another vegetable that is beneficial for the eyes is red bell peppers. Red Bell peppers have vitamin C just like Broccoli. Broccoli is good for the bones and for the immune system.

In general, carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli are great for the skin too. Carrots have beta carotene, vitamin A, calcium, potassium, and vitamin K. Whereas broccoli also has vitamin K, vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and folic acid. In addition, parsley has vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E along with antioxidants. Some of these vegetables can be eaten raw or can be cooked for soups. Here is my recipe for this broccoli vegetable soup.

1 bag of carrots

1 Yucca

1 Red Bell Pepper

2 Stalks of Broccoli

1 Cabbage

A few sprigs of Parsley

1 Lemon

2 Chicken Bouillon or 2 Cans of Chicken Broth

First, wash and peel off the skin of the carrots. Then, chop the carrots into small pieces. Wash and remove the seeds of the bell peppers. Cut the bell peppers in thin slices or in small pieces. Continue washing the vegetables and peeling off the skin of the yucca. Wash the cabbage and the broccoli. Chop the cabbage into small pieces. Wash and cut the stalks of the broccoli. Wash and remove the leaves of the parsley. 

Afterward, fill one pot with water and with the vegetables. After the vegetables have been cooking for a few minutes, add the chicken bouillon or the chicken broth. Add a few parsley leaves inside the soup. Add salt if needed and lemon juice before serving the soup. This soup will be ready in an hour or when all the vegetables are soft to eat. This soup serves approximately four people. Here are more resources about broccoli, red bell peppers, carrots, and parsley.
