An easy to follow recipe, suitable for your toddlers, and i am sure they will love it. I was hesitating to offer it to my son, and now it’s his favorite soup.

Ingredients:

1 large onion chopped
3 garlic cloves
3/4 cup of cream
salt to taste

Directions:

In a medium pot add the broccoli, (don’t throw the stems, they do the real work), chopped onion and garlic.

Simmer uncovered about 15 mns until the broccoli is tender. Puree the soup with the blender then add the cream and salt to taste.

P.S: simmering, is bringing it to a boil and then reducing the heat to a point where the formation of bubbles has almost ceased.

It’s ready to serve. Try it with croutons!
