Broccoli Puree Soup

Soups are my absolute favorite. They are very tasty and give you this cozy feeling when you are making them and having them. I grew up on soup, we had them every day as the 1st course of our meal. My body craves it  if I don’t have any for a few days. This is one of the reasons I always have some in my fridge. They are the perfect lunch. 

This Broccoli puree soup has no cream, it’s all veggies. It’s light, very healthy and extremely tasty.

Bonus that it’s very easy to make, and it also cooks fast.

You must try it for yourself.
