Bone-Loving Creamy Collard Yam Soup

This Creamy and (dreamy) Collard Yam Soup is bone-loving and vegan. Cruciferous veggies are part of the Brassica genus of plants and are rich in vitamins and minerals as shown in the chart below. They contain a group of substances known as glucosinolates, which are sulfur-containing chemicals that may fight cancer. I love the rich color, taste, and texture of this soup. This “cook-once-eat-twice” will make a fantastic big pot for several servings.Collards are a member of the cruciferous family.
