Broccoli is a dark green vegetable that comes from the cabbage family. Broccoli is often bought as a head. The term broccoli comes from the Italian word “broccoli” which translates to “the flowering crest of a cabbage”. Broccoli is popularly cooked steamed or raw because it retains its beautiful color and crunch.
This tree-like vegetable has been dubbed as a cancer fighter due to its sulforaphane and folate content. This broccoli soup is a quick and simple dish. Broccoli florets are boiled in water, seasoned, and then pureed. Delicious, creamy and healthy, this is the perfect soup for those lazy cold nights.
