Don’t you just love those recipes you come across one day that make you think to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that???” Well, this is one of those. It’s simply genius, yet so easy to make I’ve found myself making it over and over and over again!
Unfortunately I can’t take credit for this Healthy 3 Ingredient Broccoli Soup recipe at all…I first discovered it while watching one of Gordon Ramsay’s shows on the Food Network and while I’m not necessarily a huge fan of him, I am a huge fan of his recipes. I’ve never made anything of his that I didn’t absolutely love, and this 3 Ingredient Broccoli Soup is absolutely no exception.
There’s definitely something to be said about simplicity and if you’ve been around here for any length of time you know I love to keep it simple. Sometimes out of necessity, because I have two little ones, a busy working husband, and a food blog to run, but also because sometimes the simplest and freshest foods just taste the best. And keeping it simple often means you’re making a healthy choice – and we all know how important that is, don’t we?
