Healthy, because
Broccoli is not only easily digestible, but also extremely healthy! Studies suggest that glucosinolates (sulfur compounds) and beta-carotene from this green vegetable can intercept free radicals and thus actively support the body's cells and immune system.
Even smarter
Chile peppers owe their pungency to capsaicin. This natural pungent substance is not softened by cooking, so it is better to use it sparingly. You can serve a piece of whole-wheat bread with this broccoli soup to add more fiber and nutrients.
