Recipe Notes
*Broccoli - I have made the soup by putting all of the broccoli into the slow cooker or instant pot and pureeing it for a completely smooth texture. I've also set half of the broccoli aside and roasted before serving the soup. I then added the roasted broccoli to the pureed soup to give it more texture. Both ways are delish!
Freezer Friendly - Leftovers can be frozen. I love freezing this soup in individual mason jars for lunches. Leave some room at the top of the jar for the soup to expand in the freezer. (I scooped some out of these jars before I froze them.)
We recommend using organic ingredients whenever possible.
