  • 2 teaspoons mustard seed

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Judy O. Shares her Recipe "I like this recipe because it's another way to use broccoli and it satisfies my desire for cream soups without all the fat. I use fat-free sour cream for a low-fat soup."
  • tip 2
    High in vitamins A and C and folic acid; good source of fiber
  • tip 3
    Food FOR thought Broccoli, in the cruciferous family of vegetables along with Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale, is a nutrition powerhouse. Broccoli provides a source of vitamin K, a nutrient that assists the body with blood clotting, particularly important after surgery.
