I love soup. I mean, over the years I have just gotten more and more fond of soup. There is so much you can do with soup, it is easy to freeze and makes great leftovers. Basically its a huge melting pot of flavors and textures and I’m all for it.

But in order to get an amazing soup you really just need one thing: a good broth. All the flavor is really in the broth so it’s important here. And I have got to tell you this broth is off the chain good. There is a secret foodie ingredient that surprisingly elevates this entire dish to a new level. Can you guess what it is? (It’s maple syrup… shhhhhhh)

Quick Broccoli Tip: Did you know broccoli looses it’s nutrients within 10 days of being harvested? It looses 80% of it glucosinoaltes, 75% of its flavinoids, and 50% of its vitamin C. With our current system of centralized production, broccoli typically sees a transit time of a week before hitting the supermarket shelves. This is a great reason to hit up local markets, but if you can’t do that make sure you look for dark green crowns with no signs of yellowing. The stem should be fresh, moist and green. And once you get it home, eat it within 24 hours.
