Arugula Soup with Goat Cheese
Arugula Soup Made Easy
Arugula is a leafy green vegetable made in salads, soups, and main dishes. Arugula has more benefits than iceberg lettuce because it is enriched with calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K. Like broccoli and cabbage, arugula is categorized as a cruciferous vegetable. Cruciferous vegetables protect the body from specific cancers. You can eat arugula raw or cooked.
I decided to make arugula soup because I love arugula and I love making soup. I was a little nervous to make this for my family, because my husband does not like fresh arugula. This is a simple and quick recipe. Not only is it quick and easy, it is healthy for my family.
