Rapini Soup with Lime

I love rapini, or broccoli rabe as it is sometimes called, because it has such a strong flavour . Jolts our jaded palate. The bonus is its reported cancer fighting properties, keeps bones strong and helps fight heart disease, as well as acting as a detox agent, according to a variety of sources. And who can't use a little detoxing help around Christmas!!

I usually serve the small heads that look like broccoli, as a vegetable but what to do with the stems and the leaves? Well, soup of course. Add onions, garlic and potato. Little bit of chili pepper and lime juice and here we have it.
