Roasted Broccoli and White Bean Soup - Recipe

While trying to use up items in our pantry and refrigerator, my mom and  I came up with this broccoli soup recipe that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

Pureeing the white beans gave the soup a creamy texture, without the extra fat or calories, which is something I'd consider doing in the future as a replacement, adding a healthy dose of protein! My mom and I are thinking about trying this with a potato soup; we'll keep you posted on how it turns out!

This soup is rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor. Unlike many dishes that fit this description, however, this dish is very healthy.

I made this dish earlier in the week, and it just hit the spot. Brussels sprouts are one of my all-time favorite vegetables, and when combined with the tartness of fresh cranberries and the sweet toasted almonds, this dish has all the right flavors and textures going on at once, and it's so easy to prepare!
