The directions are not in aline with the video. It said add all ingredients except sprouts but you added the sprouts in the video then also topped it off with them. I actually grow microgreens and there is a difference between sprouts and microgreens. These are not sprouts these are broccoli microgreens. Sprouts are just tails off the seed. These are full grown microgreens. Since I do grow microgreens I will definitely be trying this soup. It looks great.
Hey Laura,
We are sorry for the confusion. You may add the sprouts to the soup or use them as a topper. Whichever you prefer would work just fine. We have seen it done both ways and they both turn out delicious. :)
Thank you for sharing the information on sprouts and micro greens. :)
We are glad to know you enjoy the recipe and will be trying it. We would love to hear how it turns out for you.
Thank you for being here with us. Happy cooking! :)
They are super easy to grow yourself. Look for the seeds and sprout kits on Amazon. It's the best way to get your sprouts daily!
Thank you for the tip, Cat!
I've never seen broccoli sprouts in my stores here locally. Are they really that common? I would love to try this recipe but know the sprouts are crucial to its success. Thank you, Virginia
Sorry to hear that, Virginia. We hope you get to find the best source for broccoli sprouts in your area soon!
Looks delicious, must try .
It's so good, Patricia! Can't wait for you to try it!
Will definitely share on Facebook. Yum! I would add 1/2 tsp. cumin powder to it.
Hi Marilyn, cumin powder surely will make this soup taste better. Thanks for sharing this on Facebook!
