Whenever i find broccoli in the vegetable shop, i buy it. so far bought it thrice, once i made kootu with it and kuruma the other time, now its soup. its a versatile veggie, an healthy green veggie too. Coming to the soup. its a easy one.

I am surprised the climate to be cold in Chennai. It has only been hot hotter & hottest. I am glad it is cooler. We had a very light dusting of snow today and this soup should definetly warm us up.
