POTATO AND BROCCOLI SOUP, OUR HEALTHY VERSION
This Potato and Broccoli soup has a creamy taste, can you guess why? It's because I used cauliflower in place of the cream and added a kick with lemon peel. I love potato soup and I also love Cream of Broccoli soup so here is a healthy version. This soup is filling and nutritious. It is easy to prepare and most of the time is spent with the veggies cooking while you are relaxing. Of course you have to peel the potato but if you have a good peeler then this is easy to do. So let's get peeling and chopping.
Ingredients:
4 potatoes peeled and chopper
1 Broccoli head chopped
1 white or yellow onion chopped
3-4 carrots scrubbed or peeled and chopped

1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried lemon zest or 1 teaspoon fresh
