\"\"If you think that making soup is beyond your culinary expertise, then you are not alone. I used to think that, too. In fact, any recipe that involved more than one process was too complicated for my liking until it was brought to my attention the health opportunities I was missing out on by leaving soup out of my repertoire.<\/p>\n

All of the recipes I post on That’s Fit.ca are so easy you barely even need to follow the instructions – my cooking philosophy is: a little of this and a little of that – and this recipe is no exception. I created it after a busy day running all over the city and was happy to find in my fridge, upon returning home, two of my favourite superfoods for cancer prevention: broccoli<\/a> and cauliflower<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This recipe embodies my theory of simple, real food that is both healthy and delicious. But before I share this recipe with you, I must tell you why you’ll want to add these veggies to your diet.<\/p>\n

Cancer Fighting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cruciferous vegetables<\/a> such as broccoli and cauliflower are superfoods<\/a> that contain phytonutrients such as diindolylmethane (DIM) and indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is said to be the source of the vegetables’ potent cancer-fighting<\/a> abilities.

Detoxification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both animal and human studies<\/a> show increased detoxification enzyme levels from high-glucosinolate diets, which broccoli and cauliflower both provide. Researchers suggest that this helps explain the epidemiological association between a high intake of cruciferous vegetables and a decreased risk of certain cancers, in addition to the phytonutrients already mentioned. <\/p>\n

Nutrient-Dense and Filling
<\/strong>
Broccoli and cauliflower are both an excellent source of vitamin A, C, K, and the synergistic B vitamins and minerals such as selenium and potassium. They are also a rich source of fibre, essential for keeping you full longer and your colon healthy.<\/p>\n
