Cooking for kids when wife is not around!!!!- Magical Soup

As painful as the title sound, trust me we all have to go through this at some part of our life. The major 2 hurdles that we face is

  1. What to make?- This seems an easy one for 99.9% of us as we think we are pro regardless of the section of the house we are in. The ladies have mastered in overcoming this.They go the other way around, they first check what is available and then decide what to make. 
  2. Once you are done with deciding the 2nd hurdle is Where?-Where of find what you need is the challenge that will definitely change your made up mind. And you are back to hurdle one.
Do not get demotivated by knowing these facts. This next recipe is truly magic and and your answer to above challenges.

Broccoli soup- Yummy,healthy and needs only 3 ingredients(Broccoli+Water+Salt).

Directions-
  1. Boil water in a deep pan, add 1/3 tbsp of salt to the boiling water.
  2. Trim the broccoli(remove the stalk) and add in boiling water and let it boil for good 2-3 minutes.
  3. Drain the broccoli but do not throw the water(The magic lies in this water). Blend the broccoli immediately along with just enough drained water to a soup consistency.
Note- Hot mixture of Broccoli and water tend to burst out of the blender, use enough pressure on the top lid(Possibly a kitchen towel over it would be best to avoid hot steam).

Pour the soup directly from the blender into soup bowl and serve it along Garlic bread/Focaccia bread or even simple bread rolls go well.

Chef Tip- 1/2 tsp butter while blending will do wonders.
