Recipe broccoli soup with bacon; a healthy soup on the table in no time

A recipe for broccoli soup. My children think it's fine to eat broccoli, but when I indicated that we would eat broccoli soup, I immediately started crying. “Arrgghh, yikes” said one and “ohhh no huh” the other. As if they agreed in advance. Every time something new is put in front of them (soup or something else) they grumble. Maarrrrr… I managed to surprise them with this delicious broccoli soup recipe! Advantage for my hubby and myself… it is low in carbohydrates, healthy and ready quickly.

While eating the soup, one said “Mmmm, nice mom” and the other “I don't taste any broccoli at all”. To finish with a beautiful picture of a huge broccoli soup mustache instead of the well-known milk mustache! Unfortunately I was not allowed to take a picture of this. Apparently this broccoli soup recipe is just as good as my famous zucchini soup.

Serving the broccoli-soup

Just before serving, toss a handful of bacon into the soup. Because the bacon itself is a bit saltier and gives your soup this salty taste, you can take it easy with this recipe when adding salt beforehand.

You probably still have some soup left over. Save for lunch the next day, or freeze… handy too!
