Quick and easy broccoli & tomato soup
This broccoli soup is great for a light lunch, as it doesn’t take too long to make. It’s delicious, nutritious and perfect at any time of year.
I’ve added the goodness of tomatoes, onion and garlic too, so you’ll get a good hit of healthy veggies.
To make this broccoli soup a more substantial meal, simply add some garlic bread, grilled cheese on toast, or savoury muffins.
I love all of these options, and I find my CHEESE AND BACON MUFFINS go really well this soup.
Why this broccoli soup is so good
- It really is quick and easy to make, about 30 minutes all up
- Just chop & boil the veggies, then blend with some stock
- This soup is an easy vegetarian option for a “Meatless Monday” meal
- The recipe will make three serves, so it’s economical too!
This broccoli soup is also an easy dish for when you’re meal prepping. I usually make a big batch and keep some in the freezer for those lazy days when I want a quick meal, but I still want it to be healthy.
