             I like the soups which are healthier and don’t leave you bloated or even hungry…something healthy, packed with nutrients, fibres as well as tasty. Thats the reason i detest the ready to go or canned soups. Actually I  haven’t really tried any from the shelf. If one can make such quick and healthy ones at home, why to go for canned filled with preservatives?  And soups i believe should be of ‘soupy’ consistency, hot & enjoyed slowly slowly rather than the blob from a can which further microwaved takes away most of the nutrients.

I never tried broccoli soup in any restaurant as I rush for starters than a soup when eating out. I wanted to make  broccoli soup as my dautie has suddenly stopped eating broccoli….she is the one who as a baby used to rush to the bowl of  steamed and buttered broccoli  every single day. And looking at the immense nutrition these pretty florets are packed with, I was not ready to give up on them.

We all loved the soup but it was missing the ‘bright green‘ hue  and to correct that I started adding spinach...it adds colour as well as nutrition.

Broccoli is high in many nutrients   but abundant in  vitamin C, vitamin K, iron and potassium and  soluble fibre. Apparently it  also contains more protein than most other vegetables and it is one of the lowest carbohydrates vegetable thats why very popular in many diets.
