    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.

    Other soup varieties in a TMF,

    Carrot soup

    Mixed Bean soup

      Completely understand how tough it is to manage with little ones around and when they are learning to crawl, walk it's more difficult.... and your soup looks creamy and comforting V.... 🙂

      Beautiful soup. I do like a good broccoli soup. As for deadlines for commitments to friends...it's tough. I've done the same thing. It's part of life, procrastination and priorities 🙂
