Love this Broccoli, ginger and white bean green soup by Marielle Alix

Beauties… it’s getting really cold this January, isn’t it? I always find myself reaching for soup to keep me warmed at lunchtime.

I’m loving this recipe from Marielle Alix which is also vegan friendly, perfect for “Veganuary” in fact! It’s perfectly anti inflammatory and rich in chlorophyll and protein.

The recipe is also dairy free!

Here’s a quote from Marielle about this recipe:

Here is another gorgeous soup adapted from the Hemsley sisters – fantastically healthy with the cruciferous broccoli but also a filling meal in itself thanks to the proteins in the white beans.

With its anti-inflammatory ginger and lots of chlorophyll from the coriander you have a perfect soup-meal. To serve add a drizzle of walnut or olive oil or of chimichurri sauce or toasted seeds.
