HOW TO MAKE CREAMY AND HEALTHY BROCCOLI SOUP?

Chop broccoli and grate carrot into small pieces. For giving a creamy texture to this soup, I used cashew cream, almond milk and a little bit of coconut flour. To make the creamy base for this soup, saute the garlic with some oil in a medium pan on low heat for a couple of mins. Slowly add milk along with water. Whisk continuously while sprinkling in the flour, take care to not form lumps.  Then, add the veggies and cook till they are nice and tender. Your creamy broccoli soup is ready to enjo

y for light lunch or dinner or even as a side. It is also vegan and derives key nutrients from broccoli, carrot, and cashews.
