Cream of broccoli soup with cream

Description

A hearty first course. Tired of the usual soups? Then it's time to try something new. This soup is delicious, looks appetizing and impressive. Thanks to its creamy texture, you can even feed it to children, as plain broccoli is unlikely to appeal to your little one. I recommend preparing the soup in portions, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to a day, then reheat before serving. Pour into bowls and serve.
