Dr Jockers Comments:
This recipe tastes amazing and is chock full of powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients. Broccoli contains detoxifying agents that help protect our DNA. Mushrooms help stimulate the immune system and garlic is a profound anti-microbial that helps our body reduce bad bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites.
Grass-fed butter provides high quality omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid which help improve the immune system and helps us burn fat. It also has vitamin A, E and butyric acid which helps to reduce inflammation in our arterioles making this extremely heart healthy.
If you have a dairy sensitivity, I encourage you to do this recipe with grass-fed ghee instead of the butter as the ghee is completely free of casein, lactose and whey which are the compounds that individuals have immune reactivity too. You can swap the sour cream for the coconut milk kefir that many health food stores and whole foods carry.
If you are vegan, do the vegetable broth and exclude all the dairy and add in coconut oil instead of the butter/ghee. If you are looking for high quality grass-fed cheese and pasture-raised stock, I recommend US Wellness Meats.

The ingredients call for full fat coconut milk. However in your directions you say to add the sour cream. Which is used to calculate the nutritional value?
Thanks for pointing that out Jess! It is based on the coconut milk!
Can you give an alternative option for the coconut milk? I see lots of your recipes that I would love to try but I can’t have coconut. Thanks in advance.
You can use almond milk or cashew milk!
I can’t have sour cream, nor cheese. Any alternatives?
Maria – try this coconut cream https://amzn.to/383F05o
Sounds delicious, just wondering when you use coconut milk do you discard the water in the can and only use the cream or add it all. Thanks
You can do either Pauline.
I suggest adding lightly sautéed grated ginger and turmeric to this to give an Asian flair and added anti inflammatory goodness. You can leave off the dairy.
Wonderful!!
Really appreciate this recipe and note the advantages of broccoli and mushrooms which do not usually come to mind. Thank Susan for suggesting the grated ginger and turmeric. I buy fresh ginger and freeze it, then it lasts longer.
Thank you!
