One of the well-known superfoods is regularly on our plates today. I got introduced to this vegetable in my 20’s.
It is not a wonder to say that my kids like this vegetable. They are crisp and flavourful. When we introduce this superfood in their childhood they will not say ‘no’ to this kind of food.
It is enough to increase the appetite when broccoli is sauteed in olive oil with garlic and is seasoned with salt and pepper.
Simply steamed, soups, salads, and pasta dishes are well-known recipes in which broccoli stars. Today, we are going to make a soup using broccoli.
Along with broccoli, I added mushroom to balance and to add more flavor to the soup. The baby corn gives volume and coarseness to the soup.
What we need to make the broccoli soup
Broccoli-the super food
The base vegetable is broccoli in this soup. The high-nutrient green broccoli retains its vibrant colour in this recipe.
Button mushroom
Along with broccoli, white button mushrooms are used to balance the taste and flavor of the soup.
Baby corn
Crunchy baby corn will be satisfying to eat while tasting the soup.
Milk
Milk is used as the only liquid in this soup. Instead of cream, low-fat milk is used.
Onion and garlic
Onion and garlic are the taste enhancers used along with the spices and condiments to increase the taste.
