Creamed Broccoli Soup

This soup is warm and creamy, but super healthy and even dairy-free. You can use any thickener you like. For example... Potato Starch, Cornstarch, Tapioca Starch, Wheat flour, or Rice flour. They all work well. The quantity you need to use will depend on which you choose and how thick you would like your soup.

2 Stalks of Celery (diced)
1 Medium Onion (diced)
2 T. Olive Oil
4 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
Fresh Ground Nutmeg to taste
2 Bay Leaves
1 Large Head of Fresh Broccoli Florets
1 can Coconut Milk
Thickener Of Choice
Add celery, onion, and olive oil to large pot. Sweat them in pot on medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Add Nutmeg and Bay Leaf to mixture and stir. Layer Broccoli Florets in pot on top of onion mixture. Add 1/2 of Chicken Broth to pot. Cover pot and steam broccoli over low heat until softened. Add remaining Chicken Broth and your thickener of choice. Blend with hand-blender or in blender until smooth. Add Coconut Milk to mixture and heat in pot.
EAT and ENJOY without feeling guilty.
