Something green !

  Finally, spring is coming. We can even find flowers in some gardens but I’m still waiting for fresh vegetables. I decided to eat radish germs but it was too hard to digest for my stomach. Are frozen vegetables like broccolis, cauliflowers or carrots better solution? Let’s check it! Today I cooked broccoli soup and… it was very easy and tasty!

You will need:

• About 750 grams of broccoli
• 1 litre of water
• 1 bouillon cube
• sour cream
• 2 cloves of garlic
• salt, pepper, sweet paprika, sugar, thyme
• bread
• 1 table spoon of olive oil

Directions:

When you use frozen broccolis, put them into a  medium pot with boiling water and after 2 minutes strain them. Then put 1 litre of water into a pot one more time and add broccolis, bouillon cube, garlic and salt. You can add also vegetables like carrot or potato if you like. Cover with a lid. Cook the soup on a medium heat until soft (about 20 minutes or more if you decided to use also carrots or potatoes). Carefully transfer the broccoli soup to a blender and blitz until it will be smooth. Season with the black pepper, sweet paprika, salt and sugar.

Croutons:

Cut bread into small cubes and put into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, thyme, sweet paprika and shake it well. Put cubes into a hot pan and fry until crispy and golden brown.

Serve hot soup with sour cream and croutons.
