BROCCOLI SOUP RECIPE

Broccoli soup is a staple in our house, especially when broccoli is in season.  But, it’s a vegetable you can get year round, so it can always be prepared.  It is a fast, easy, and healthy meal, not to mention yummy.  I could always seem to get my kids to eat this soup, which made this mom very happy. I would highly suggest you add this to your recipe box!
