Easy and Yummy Soup

Easy and Yummy Soup
Moving is hard. It's a good thing my kids love this creamy hot soup. I serve it with sprouted grain toast or rice bread toast for the kids and pomegranates for dessert. It is creamy and the flavores work well together. I often take this to potlucks and get asked for the recipe.  I also have never found a kid who won't gobble it down.
Valerie's Easy Yummy Soup
Frozen Normandy veggies from Costco
1 can coconut milk
Rupunzel brand veggie broth to taste
Cultured butter about 1 TBS
Salt to taste
Put Normandy veggies in as big of a pot as you want to make enough soup for the crowd you are feeding. Pour in the can of coconut milk. Add the scoop of butter.  Put about 2 tsp broth powder if using a medium sauce pan. Add enough water to cover the veggies all the way. Heat until the veggies are cooked. Taste and add more broth and or a little sea salt if desired to your liking. Easy peasy
