Chunky Broccoli & Rajma Soup

Broccoli's noteworthy nutrients include vitamin C, vitamin A, folic acid, calcium, and fiber. While the calcium content of one serving doesn't equal that of a glass of milk, broccoli is an important calcium source for those who don't consume dairy products. Research shows that this mineral may play a role in the control of high blood pressure, and it may work to prevent colon cancer. Broccoli is a fiber find. Not only is it a rich source, but half of its fiber is insoluble and half is soluble,Botanically, broccoli belongs to the cabbage family, collectively known as cruciferous vegetables.Rajma are highly rich in potassium, low-sodium food they help reduce blood pressure. Not only they are low in fat, but when combined with grains, beans supply high quality protein which provides a healthy alternative to meat or other animal protein. I combined both these wonderful veggies and beans to make out this delicious soup which suits prefectly for dinner,which tastes awesome with simple bread toast...Am sending this delicious and healthy soup to JFI-Rajma guest hosted by Divya of Dilse, event started by Indira...
