Quick Broccoli, Bell Pepper & Cheese Soup

Broccoli is like the king of vegetables loaded with nutrients like vitamin A, C, Calcium and dietary fiber. This dark green vegetable is very in expensive for the amount of nutrition it provides. Even the conventional broccoli has very low pesticide residue so it is one of the safest vegetable if you are not able to find an organic one to go for. What ever is your diet type, a low carbohydrate, low glycemic, weight loss diet, broccoli is a vegetable that falls in that category.

If you have a Vitamix and are running short of time and looking for something quick, filling keep you charged up then try this soup. Takes less than 10 Minutes to make this soup and I liked it. If you don’t have a vitamix, sautee the vegetables in a stove top and then puree with milk and cheese and simmer once again for few minutes and I am sure that would taste even better.
