1. Heat 4 cups of AliMade Chicken Bone Broth on the stove. Add about 8C frozen or fresh broccoli (stems too; don't waste them!) plus a bit of salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and simmer until broccoli is tender. Optionally add a few handfuls of fresh or frozen spinach and roughly chopped green onion, stir to wilt.
2. Puree directly in the pot with an immersion blender (or you can transfer to a blender). If you like a chunky soup, add some small florets of broccoli to the pot. Let simmer until those florets are tender.
3. Add 8+ oz grassfed cheddar cheese. Stir into the soup to melt.
4. Whip about 1Tbsp arrowroot or potato starch with about 1/2 cup coconut cream or milk (I prefer cream) to the pot. Taste test and adjust salt, cumin, and turmeric to your liking (the amount will depend on the saltiness of the cheese you added).

This is a wonderfully nutrient-dense recipe that's full of flavor. You've got lots of folate from your broccoli and spinach, glycine and other amino acids from the gelatin-rich broth, fat-soluble vitamins including vitamin K2 in that aged cheddar cheese... I could go on, but nutrition is probably not the reason you're eating this. You're eating it because itβs delicious. Thatβs reason enough. Enjoy!
