Surprise yourself with how creamy a creamy broccoli soup can be (made without cream!).  Super healthy with only 165 calories per serving, this makes a wonderful light meal or lunch that takes only 15 minutes to make. Croutons are not optional!
I’ve made cauliflower soup plenty of times, but this is the first time I attempted broccoli soup. It really is just like the consistency of cauliflower soup, really creamy (but not a drop of cream in site!) but being so green I just feel like it’s better for my insides – full of nutrition!
With a hand held blender stick, this is so quick to make – on the table in 15 minutes. Croutons are not option, you must!
