This broccoli soup is so easy to make that it will become a regular at your table. It has a creaminess you would find in a dairy-based soup, but without the cream. We don’t need cream here! I love how the flavor of broccoli comes through with a bit of sweetness from the leeks. Gosh, this was so yummy. If you like croutons add them in. We like raw pepitas on top for some crunch as well as its’ high levels of zinc and magnesium.
Chicken and Fig Skewers
Healthy gluten free, dairy free eating at it’s best. I prepared grilled chicken breast with fig skewers. If you are vegan a wonderful meat substitute is cubed portobello mushrooms, it goes so well with figs. I would use the same spices on the mushroom to give it that bold flavor with additional oil to make them moist and delicious. The sweet fig should pair nicely with the spice on the earthy mushroom. I never combined figs with chicken before, I thought it would pair well with the spices on the chicken and it sure did, very nicely. Giving me more ideas on using figs for savory dishes as they are in season now. Hooray! Can you tell I love figs?
