B for blissful health…B for broccoli !! Try this broccoli soup & be in bliss.

Easy to do, the cashew lends it a milky flavor. So kids are happy to eat it too! Just do not tell them it's Broccoli.

This is a winter soup, best done when Broccoli is abundantly available.

Ingredients

• Broccoli: 1 medium sized (cut into medium florets)
• Onion: 1 medium sized
• Cashew nuts: 5-6 (Soaked). If in a hurry, you can use powedered dry cashew too.
• Coriander leaves : a handful
• Rock salt & black pepper: as per taste

Method

• Put the broccoli florets in a steamer, steam till soft.
• Do not overcook. They should become bright green (and not lose color).
• If you do not have steamer, put it in a wok with ½ glass water, and boil. Keep the boiled water aside, use it later to blend.
• Chop the onion & dry roast it in a pan on slow flame, cover the pan. Cook till onions are golden brown & soft.
• Soak cashew nuts in warm water for around an hour. Soaked nuts make the soup creamier. If you don't have time to soak, simply powder dry cashews and use.
• Cool down the steamed broccoli & put it in a blender. Add roasted onions & cashews. Blend the mixture.
• Transfer the blended mixture to a pan, add water to get the desired consistency of soup.
• Add salt, black pepper & coriander leaves.
• Give it a boil only once. Do no over do. Veggies lose their enzymes if cooked for too long.
• Your soup is ready to be served.
