HA!

I am just checking to see if you read this!

Your heart does not need the bread. It is a filler. Grains cause inflammation. The goal for a healthy

heart is to keep the inflammation down! Now, you could add sliced green onions. How about a cup of

cooked spinach or chard, or a can of diced tomatoes to increase your potassium? I will leave that up to

you, and yes, you could grate some cheese (aged Parm!) over this, and that would be heartwarming!Quick Green Soup

In a large pot, place 1 cup of water, half a head of broccoli, and 2 cloves of garlic minced or shallots.

Cover the pot and turn the stove on high to steam the broccoli and garlic or shallots. As soon as they

are cooked, add two handfuls of fresh spinach ( this is optional, but I know you have it in your

fridge, so you might as well get more potassium and use it up!)

Now, cover the pot and steam for, say, 30 seconds until it is wilted.

Now, what you wish to use for protein, I will let you explore, but here are two options:

1 can of garbanzo beans or ½ block of tofu.

Here is a nice place to add the miso if you have it. 1 teaspoon,

Put the beans or the tofu in the bottom of the blender. Hadd the steamed water and the vegetables

from the pot into the blender.

Buzz that blender

Now, You have soup. Although I am sure, it needs salt.

Serve with pumpkin seeds (Omega 6)

Or Fermented Cabbage or carrots?

I drizzled mine with my sesame crunch hot sesame oil…
