Delicious Broccoli Soup

I love making easy dinners, that are healthy, easy and quick - and it warms you up on a cold winters night! And, even my husband enjoyed it (and he CANNOT STAND broccoli)...

head of broccoli

about 750ml chicken stock

onion, chopped

a knob of butter

garlic (if you like)

about 2 carrots, sliced

about 70ml cream/ milk for a lighter option

salt, pepper and spices

a few tablespoons flour

bacon and feta, to garnish

Put knob of butter in pan, and gently fry onion and garlic - don't allow to brown. Add carrots, broccoli and flour; and make sure everything is coated. Add chicken stock and allow to boil, until broccoli is cooked (approximately 15min). Add cream or milk. Put in food processor and blend. Add more cream/milk or more flour, depending on the consistency you like.

Sprinkle with feta and bacon bits, if you like.

I also made lovely crispy bread to go with it.

Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Cut up a baguette, sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper and some chilli flakes (if you like) and bake for about 10min!

Buon appetito!
