Recipe Number: 1430
Contributor: annsmeal
Serves: 3 to 4
Calories Per Serving:
Preparation Time: 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic
1 Anaheim pepper
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon Basil
1 bunch of broccoli washed and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 cups water
Cooking Instructions:
Warm olive oil over low heat, add onion and pepper cook
Just before the onions turn clear add garlic, oregano and basil stir till onions are clear
Add water and broccoli and cook till broccoli is soft

Before serving I use my hand blender (use caution with hot liquid) to liquefy partially, this gives the broth thicker and greener, ands looks more appealing.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve alone or with bread
can be served in smaller portions with a meal
Additional Comments:
This soup is good for cold weather and help fight colds!Will improve any lung problems.
Variations use fewer broccolis and add a potato
I use the base recipe (everything but the broccoli) for all my soups just add whatever vegetables or meats you have on hand
