Easy Broccoli and Mushroom soup

Easy mushroom and broccoli recipe

This is a very quick, easy and healthy recipe of having a filling broccoli and mushroom soup. Been thinking of making this soup and coincidentally it was a 'soup theme' week in one of the cookery groups I am in. Hence just experimented with this recipe of my own.

Wanted to write this recipe as soon as possible before I forget the measurements :)

Ingredients

Broccoli florets- 2 cups

Button mushrooms - 1 cup

Onion - half of one med size 

Garlic - 2-3 cloves

Water - 1 cup

Celery sticks - 1-2 small ones

Salt, pepper, herb seasonings

Milk - 1 cup

Olive oil- 1 tspn

Butter - 1tspn

Flour - 1 tspn

Method

• Wash the broccoli and mushrooms well and measure out the required proportions and keep aside.
• Saute the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until soft in a pressure pan.
• Add roughly chopped mushrooms and saute until the water is removed from the mushrooms.
• Add chopped broccoli ,water and celery sticks and close the lid, cook it in the pressure cooker for one or 2 whistles.
• Remove the celery sticks and discard and then liquidize the mixture
• Make a thin white sauce by heating a spoon of butter in a pan, add a spoon of whole wheat flour and pour in the milk, whisk well and pour this into the soup.
• Season the soup with salt, pepper and herbs of your choice.
• I threw in some bagel chips instead of croutons for that perfect crunch in the soup :)

enjoy!
