Protein-Rich Broccoli and Almond Soup Recipe

Last Updated on 11 months ago

Broccoli and Almond Soup, mildly flavoured with garlic, is a comfort soup that is simple to make and yet healthy too.

I keep buying the broccoli and forgetting about it. Therefore, this time also when I was looking at the slightly yellow head of broccoli I knew it had to be disguised.

Broccoli and Almond Soup

I just made the soup and went on adding ingredients as I could find. Boy ! was I amazed at the flavours in the soup. Moreover, the best part was the yellow colour that I was dreading had vanished.

Broccoli is a relatively new entrant to my kitchen and I am yet to discover how to use this broccoli. Broccoli is rich in Vit. C, Vit. A and calcium to name a few nutrients. Almonds are rich in protein, calcium, iron and magnesium besides being brain friendly.  

Therefore, this soup not only is a comfort food it is also nourishing.

The main ingredients of the Broccoli and Almond Soup are broccoli, almonds, onions and garlic.
