What’s with broccoli?? Like really what is the deal. Why do kids have to hate it so much ☹ As if nature has casted it’s spell. Imagine nature speaking to you “ Broccoli is a super food .. hahaha but it won’t come easily to you… hahaha!!! “ . Chill Khushboo chill we will make it work! My older one started liking broccoli after he turned 6. My little one just turned 13 months old. And the struggle to feed him whole foods especially vegetables continues. He is slowly getting used to more chunky food. He totally loves avocados, steamed sweet potatoes, thinly sliced cucumber. But somehow doesn’t like the texture of broccoli or cauliflower yet. But the mom in me isn’t giving up yet. I like to sneak veggies in food they love . Be it my kid’s favorite pasta recipe or savory pancakes or even their favorite burger . Everything is deceptively loaded with veggies 😉 I started making this nutritious and super creamy broccoli cauliflower soup and my kids are eating it without any fuss. This soup recipe is Oil-Free . But I add a teaspoon of olive oil for my kids just before serving.
Why do I stress on Broccoli Consumption?
Broccoli is SUPERFOOD rich in iron , Vitamins and minerals mainly Vitamin C. It has more protein than most other vegetables. This cruciferous vegetable is a boon to include in a vegetarian or a vegan diet especially when we mainly depend on plant based food for all the nutrition . Broccoli is high in fiber and low in carb. It is so easy to include broccoli in your diet. If you do not like it raw or slightly steamed then try it in stir fry’s or soups. Benefits of broccoli As broccoli is high in fiber and low in carb it is a great to include it in everyday meals. Broccoli can aid weight loss . It is great to maintain sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Being high in fiber , broccoli improves digestion too .
This delicious green soup is made without any milk , heavy cream , butter or cheese. Yes this Broccoli soup is completely dairy free making it a Vegan delight . I promise you won’t miss any cream in this soup!!! Moreover this broccoli soup doesn’t have any added flour ( roux) to make it creamy that makes it gluten-free too. My secret to making this broccoli soup without cream super creamy is a combination of cauliflower and Almond Flour. Guys!! This combination is truly magical . If you have nut allergy then I have a substitute for Almonds mentioned in the recipe notes.
Why do I love Cauliflower so much – For a long time now I have been a fan of Cauliflower. Cauliflower has gained lot of importance in recent years because it’s very versatile and low in carbs . Like broccoli it is high in fiber and vitamins too. Cauliflower rice has taken the internet by a storm and recently this guilt free cauliflower cream sauce. While I am not a big fan of cauliflower rice ( Sorry I love my white rice as is ) but I am swooned by how cauliflower can turn anything calling for cream , creamy. It seriously works like a charm. Since I started using cauliflower instead of cream in my savory recipes I have hardly used heavy cream. What I love about cauliflower cream is that it has no overpowering taste of its own. It’s like a blank canvas and camouflage pretty well in whatever you add it to. I strongly recommend you trying my Vegan Alfredo sauce too.
What to serve with this Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower soup ?
