You’ve most probably heard me say this a million times, a great soup is not easy to make. A great soup takes time to prepare.
This was a great soup!
This recipe wasn’t overly time consuming to put together which was great. I did have my doubts about almonds with broccoli all in the one soup but Zoe Bingley-Pullin should be praised for this one. It was absolutely delicious and what a healthy choice!
Must try!
Enjoy
