Broccoli and Cheese Soup

This comforting soup is very healthy and simple to make. Broccoli is high in vitamin C as well a good dietary fiber.  Kids will love this soup because of its creamy texture and mild taste.

Ingredients:

1 Tsp of melted butter or olive oil

4 Cups of broccoli

2 Cups of water

½ Cup of milk

2 Tsp of heavy cream

½ Cup of shredded cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Bring water to boil and add broccoli. Cook broccoli till soft. Drain the broccoli and keep the water to mix later in soup. Blend the broccoli to a smooth paste and keep aside.

In a pan, add oil/butter and sauté the broccoli paste and add water (used previously to boil broccoli) and bring to boil. Now add milk, cream, cheese and simmer for 3-5 mins. Add salt, pepper and mix well. Serve with little grated cheese on top.

Enjoy!
