I didn't follow the directions well on the soup, but it still turned out great. I used four heads of broccoli instead of two, and I think I used too much water. Next time I will use a little less to make the soup a little thicker.Soup: approx 4 servings, 225 cal/serving, 12.7 g protein, and 237% dv of Vitamin C!
The sweet potato biscuits are scrumptious with the soup. I used a large sweet potato instead of the medium one called for in the recipe because I *love* sweet potato! About 160 calories each, with a little more than 3 g protein each, and 92% of your daily value of vitamin A!
I made this a few weekends ago and the soup is awesome! At the time, I didn't have an immersion blender so I just mashed everything up as best I could. I was surprised at how easy the soup was to make. I used two bags of frozen organic broccoli florets because I didn't have any fresh broccoli, and it turned out great. I also made the sweet potato biscuits, but they tasted a little too flour-y for me. I used the easiest recipe for the biscuits that I could find through Google, though - I'm sure your version was MUCH better!
I'm a 10+ year vegan with two kids. I work a bit more than full time in NYC. This blog is my record of what I'm making to feed me and my kids. Some entries are failures, some are works in progress, many don't get photos (it's hard when most of my cooking is late late at night or on the weekends when I try to spend as much time as possible with my kids), but all record my attempts to become a better cook, make new and exciting dishes that my kids and omni-husband will eat and enjoy, and release a little stress that builds up from the day/night job.
