Broccoli almond soup

Broccoli and almond soup is the creamiest soup I have ever had! This soup has a beautiful fresh green color and subtle flavors. Broccoli is rich in nutrients and almonds enhance the nutritional values of the soup. The soup is high in proteins, Iron, Folic acid, calcium and vitamins such as A, C and E. I have used the steaming method to cook broccoli in order to retain the nutrients. This is a quick and easy recipe to make this healthy and creamy soup.
