Cheesy Broccoli Soup

Cheesy Broccoli Soup is great for a cold day. It is vegan so it gets the cheesy flavour from nutritional yeast. It also contains garlic and cayenne pepper which both have amazing healing properties. Herbs and spices also offer a wide range of healing properties from easing digestion to reducing inflammation.
