Notes

Note :

• Here i have added potato to give nice thickness to the soup . If you don’t want potato .. can add carrot too . But the color may alter . Or if you want can add cornflour to thicken .
• Addition of cream is purely optional . If doing for kids i add .. if for me i don’t .. 🙂 . tastes good still ..
• Boil the soup in low flame only .. else the color of the broccolli might change .
