Recipe Notes
Chef Tips:
- After blanching the broccoli in very hot water, refresh it under cold water, in order to retain the beautiful green colour of the Vegetables.
- You may add more vegetable stock, to adjust the consistency.
- Do not prepare the soup covered as the soup will be of a pale green colour instead of a beautiful bright green colour.
