Previously, I have made leek soup and broccoli soup. Today, I combined tenderstem broccoli with leek soup and it was delicious. The leek, spring onion and chives create a really nice, sharp flavour together. This also goes well with the buttery, crunchy Tenderstem broccoli.
This time round, I added cream so the soup had a lovely, creamy texture. If you are monitoring your health, you
can use milk. I would recommend trying this soup, it is soo good
