Broccoli is a fiber-rich food associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, while almond meal is rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants. In this delicious keto soup recipe, broccoli is roasted for lots of flavor and pureed with almond meal and almond milk. Parsley and spinach add extra vitamins and body to the soup, while lemon juice adds a little zing.
