Super Simple & Healthy Broccoli Soup Recipe

One of the things I'm doing as part of my new health plan is to eat a lot more fruit and vegetables. Since we started Hello Fresh in January this year, I had already increased this but now I aim to eat 150g of fruit or veg with every meal, ideally with plenty of dark green options.


Sometimes this is easy, for example when I make a salad or stir-fry, both packed with veg, but sometimes I struggle - mainly at breakfast. I like a savoury breakfast so don't go for the fruity options but I don't always fancy a pile of vegetables with my eggs, nor do I have time to chop & cook them before work.


So now I make a batch of broccoli soup for the week. It's super easy, quick to make and easy to heat up and drink with any of my meals (or I just sneak it in as a snack if I'm feeling hungry). I love broccoli so this is the perfect solution for me, especially now we're moving into autumn.



No, it's not quite the same as my latte I used to have with breakfast but it's only 67 calories, very filling, full of goodness and really quite delicious!
