Pesto always seemed a bit too rich for me and it wasn’t until I started to experiment with developing recipes without using the cheese that I realized just how much better it would taste.

The fragrant basil is perfectly balanced with the olive oil plus, without the cheese you loose a lot of the fat.

You can double the basil pesto sauce recipe and keep the extra, stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week. It is also great on baked potatoes, rice or cauliflower rice!

ENJOY!

I have made many, many batches of Cream of Broccoli Soup through the years but always used regular broccoli.

I had a some broccoli rabe in my refrigerator and decided to experiment with it. Since broccoli rabe has a less bitter and milder taste than regular broccoli, it was worth a bit of experimentation.

WOW. The soup was so unbelievably creamy and mild. I suggest you give this recipe a try soon.

For dinner you can serve alongside salad for a complete meal. Trust me, this soup is hardy so you don’t need any bread.

Please feel free to let me know how it turns out!
