Broccoli soup - Winter Special

Broccoli is an antioxidant rich vegetable and a powerhouse of nutrients that I always like to add in my diet. I use to add broccoli in pasta, stir fry, soup and even in sambar.

It always give a good taste to the dish and makes it healthy.

Adding vegetables to soup is an easy and smart way of making kids to eat the vegetables!

This is a simple, delicious, healthy soup; perfect for this winter season.
