Broccoli Soup (2 Ww Points)

Man’s happiness was never meant to be determined by his circumstances, and that is the fatal blunder that we all tend to make… Man’s happiness depends on one thing only – and that is his relationship to God!... We cannot get it anywhere else. We must come back to the soul and to God who made it. We were made for Him, we are meant for Him, we have a correspondence with Him, and we will never come to rest until, like that needle on the compass, we strike that northern point, and there we come to rest – nowhere else.

book was published in co-operation with Canadian Diabetes  Association
in 1992. This soup is also good chunky. If you prefer it  chunky, just
chop the vegetables a little finer than you need to when  you're
planning to puree them for a smoother soup. For a pale  cream-coloured
soup, use cauliflower instead of broccoli. I include  1/2 cup of
evaporated skim milk and 1/2 teaspoon thyme which the  original recipe
did not call for the original called for 3 cups water  and 1 chicken
bouillon cube/packet. Each serving of 1 cup for  original is 1 Fruit &
