The simplest and –--souuuper delicious Cream of Broccoli ;)
Coz this green vegetable-cum-superfood is not an Indian staple, there aren’t many broccoli sabzis. Neither is there a diversity of soups in Indian cuisine.
The only soups I’d known growing up where oriental- you know, the kind that have soya sauce, vinegar and MSG( I was obsessed with them, of course)
However, before long, something niggled at my foodie brain, making me try other soup recipes. Since then, I’ve looked for the best one; watching a ton of videos and as many tutorials( I didn’t try any of them).
But one day, I decided to cook on my own, using some simple ingredients and my own intuition….And it was PERFECT – creamy, warm, and a little spicy (come on, I am an Indian) and not to mention, the fresh herby taste of the Broccoli. I was pretty surprised at it, created by just some milk, onion and garlic. I hadn’t added amy Flour or cream or cheese or broth or any other fancy stuff (save for the oregano).
This recipe is an appreciation of simple things in life.
