Broccoli and Parsley Soup

4 cups diced broccoli florets + stems

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp salt

pepper to taste

red pepper flakes (optional)

In a medium saucepan, boil broccoli in the veggie broth until tender - about 10-15 minutes. Of course, the smaller the dice of the broccoli, the faster the cooking time. Remove from heat and add parsley, salt, and milk with an immersion blender or carefully pouring cup by cup in a regular blender, blend until smooth sprinkle each bowl with fresh pepper, and red pepper.
