Instructions

1. Boil water in a pot. Cut broccoli into small florets and wash it well. Add these into boiling water. Cook for 5 min.

3. Add half cup of milk into the soup. Stir it well. Check the consistency. If it is too thick you can add water. Just cook it for 2 minutes. Finally season the soup with enough salt and pepper powder.

Lax Notes

* If you want you can add extra tbsp of butter.

* You do not have to cook the soup for too long after adding milk as we already cooked broccoli.

* You can add some cooked beans or chickpeas to the soup which i usually do. That gives a nice texture and taste to the soup.
