BROCCOLI AND ARUGULA SOUP!
"I feel like I just died and went to heaven." - Ashley


It's the most amazing soup ever. SO easy to make and it's absolutely DELISH!
Even my little sister Emma, who according to my mom "doesn't eat soup", and according to her "hates soup", LOVED IT. She loved it so much she ate 3 bowls of it.

I would highly recommend making this soup.

Here is the recipe:

Broccoli and Arugula Soup
ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 yellow onion, roughly diced
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets (about 2/3 pound)
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon each coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup arugula (watercress would be good, too)
1/2 lemon

preparation
Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for just a minute or until fragrant. Add the broccoli and cook for four minutes or until bright green. Add the water, salt and pepper, bring to a boil, lower the heat and cover. Cook for eight minutes or until the broccoli is just tender. Pour the soup into a blender and puree with the arugula until quite smooth. Be very careful when blending hot liquids; start slowly and work in batches if necessary (you don’t want the steam to blow the lid off). Serve the soup with a bit of fresh lemon.
