Creamy Broccoli Soup

Creamy broccoli soup is a tasty flavorful soul with broccoli. Broccoli soup is one tasty way to make to give broccoli to kids. Cheese makes it extra flavorful.

Broccoli is one vegetable which took me a while may be more than that to try. I should say my first few attempts with broccoli was not great. I  try to boil it like cauliflower and will lose it flavorful. 

One day when we went to our friend's house for dinner she made creamy broccoli soup. The moment I heard broccoli o was so doubtful to try it. After seeing the way  hubby Enjoyed the soup. I took a sip and loved it. 
 
Finallt I have one favorite dish with broccoli. I got the creamy broccoli soup recipe from my friend and started doing it regularly.

Couple of months back Sujatha from SpicesNTreat asked me for a guest post. 

It took me a while (more than that;-)) to send her the recipe. With my LO running around my legs its difficult to capture pictures and draft. The moment I take the camera he comes behind me:-) Luckily Sujatha understood my position and did not mind the delay.
