First thing I would say about this soup is it is very easy to make and tasty too, and how I love that vibrant green colour of the soup. And yea this was made for my kid's evening snack and it was garnished with home made tomato garlic bread croutons, and yea kids enjoyed it.
Following is the recipe
Ingredients
Broccoli head - one
Garlic - 2-3 cloves
Ginger - a small piece
Onion - one med size
Milk - 1.5 cups
Salt and pepper
Bread croutons
Method
Wash the broccoli florets in hot water with salt and turmeric powder, throw in a pressure cooker along with coarsely chopped onion, garlic and ginger and also add half cup of water and half cup of milk. Pressure cook for one whistle in high flame and remove from stove. Open the lid of the cooker and blend the ingredients, I used a hand blender for blending. Add the remaining milk, salt and pepper powder.
At this stage if you want your soup slightly thick mix a tspn of corn flour or arrowroot powder in a 1/4 cup of water and add to this and bring it back to flame and let it boil while the soup thickens. (I skipped this step). Alternately you can add cream instead of milk if you want a thicker soup and avoid corn flour.
Serve hot with toasted bread croutons and a dollop of butter.
Enjoy! :)
