    arugula soup

    No Comments

    I’ve been making this soup for probably a decade and it’s still just as delicious and comforting every time. I know, arugula in a soup may sound weird. You’re probably thinking it will be too bitter. I promise it’s not! The leeks and potatoes balance it all out! Occasionally, like once every 2-3 years occasionally, I will get an incredibly bitter batch of baby arugula that ruins the soup, and I buy arugula ALL THE TIME so the chances of this happening to you are very slim. I really hope it doesn’t! This soup is one of my all time favorites and I hope you love it too!

It is the second leading cause of death in American women and is affecting women at a younger age and becoming more virulent. I feel the most important thing we can do is to educate women on what they can do reduce their risk, how to suppress the genetic disposition to breast cancer, and for women who’ve already beat it, how to reduce their risk of recurrence. Most of us probably know the bad habits that increase risk like drinking alcohol daily, smoking, taking prescription medication regularly, and eating processed food/sugar and large amounts of animal products. Instead I want to focus on some steps we can take that may be a little less well known.
