CREAM OF BROCCOLI SOUP

Broccoli has long been touted as one of the healthiest vegetable owing to its nutritional makeup. This super food is loaded with fiber, antioxidants to fight cancer and Vitamin C to aid iron absorption. 

I have been trying to incorporate Broccoli into our weekly diet for the past 6 months now. But I am at a point where I prefer really quick and nutritious meals with a minimum of hassle. This recipe is my go to recipe these days. Its quick, healthy and delicious.
