Cheddar Broccoli Soup

This soup is oh so creamy and dreamy. The potatoes add a natural creaminess to the soup without the use of cream, butter, or milk, and the broccoli adds some texture. Serve yourself up a big bowl of this soup when you’re looking for a comforting, grounding meal. Pair it with Leafy Green Salad or Liver Rescue Salad (recipes in Cleanse To Heal) if you wish.

This delicious recipe is one of over 75 recipes in the book, Medical Medium Cleanse to Heal. 

Potatoes: Abundant in amino acids that specifically inhibit viral growth. Potatoes are high in glucose that provides substance to the liver, as it’s precisely what the liver relies on to keep strong. It also helps build up glycogen storage, the very resource that protects us against blood sugar problems, weight gain, fatty liver, and dirty blood syndrome. Potatoes keep the liver grounded and stable, giving us a good constitution. They’re also shunned for being a nightshade, when in truth they have the ability to reverse many varieties of chronic illness.

Broccoli: The “trunks” of broccoli are rich in sulfur compounds, which are not researched to the extent needed—they’re more important than we realize. These phytochemical sulfur compounds act as harmful gas to unfriendly bacteria and other microorganisms inside the intestinal tract and also travel straight to the liver, where they saturate liver tissue, allowing the liver’s immune system to have a fighting chance at controlling pathogens.

"Cheddar" Broccoli Soup 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups diced potatoes
• 1 cup diced carrot
• 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup water or Liver Rescue Broth (recipe on page 394 of Cleanse To Heal)
• 1 medium-sized head broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces (yields about 4 cups)

Directions:

Add 3 inches of water to a medium-sized pot, bring it to a boil, and add a steaming basket. Place the potatoes and carrots in the basket, cover, and steam for 8 to 12 minutes, until soft.

When they’re ready, remove the potatoes and carrots and place them in a blender together with the turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon juice, and water or Liver Rescue Broth. Blend until very smooth. Pour into a pot and bring to a simmer.

To make the broccoli, steam it for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender yet not mushy; you want the broccoli to hold up well in the soup. Stir it into the soup. Divide the soup between bowls and serve.

Tips:

• If you don’t like broccoli, you can use cauliflower or asparagus.
• When choosing between water and Liver Rescue Broth for the ingredients, keep in mind that the broth will produce a richer flavor. Store-bought vegetable stock isn’t called for because it’s very difficult to find a variety that’s free from oil, salt, natural flavors, and/or other additives. For convenience, make a batch of Liver Rescue Broth in advance and freeze it (consider ice cube trays for easy thawing) so you have it on hand for recipes like these.
