Hearty Broccoli Soup

This hearty Broccoli soup recipe is a tasty vegetarian treat. The same method can also be used to make cauliflower soup.

It’s a useful recipe to have at hand owing to the number of variations you can create. Adding steamed beans or chopped celery are also great ways to add interest. My favorite is adding a decent chunk of cheddar cheese to taste.

Garnish with sesame seeds, a small floret of broccoli or a sprig of mint.
