Recipe Notes
- Vegetarians, use vegetable broth or the “no chicken” powdered broth mix.
- If using broth powder, paste, granules, or cubes, prepare 2 cups broth per the instructions for your product
- Add herbs of your choice. Many people like oregano with cauliflower. For broccoli, I put in a little extra cheese and top with bacon crumbles. Although I've recently been told to eat potatoes for potassium, I don't normally eat them, so I don't yet have a recommendation for potato soup. Use your imagination, or what you'd use when making potato skins.
