- Add broth and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add beans and parsley; simmer until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
BROCCOLI AND BEAN SOUP
I like this recipe because it is easy to make and works with my Nutritarian eating style. You can use frozen chopped broccoli to speed up prep time. Any low sodium white bean will work in this recipe.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).
