No croutons required: Lemon and Broccoli Soup
Lisa of Lisa's Kitchen and Holler of Tinned Tomatoes have started a monthly event No Croutons Required . This month's challenge is Vegetarian Soup, any ingredient can be used, as long as the soup is free of meat, poultry and seafood. I like soups and like the last two years I resolved to cook at least one soup a week. So it is a must to participate this event. I chose the
Lemon and Broccoli Soup
A very delicious soup, fast food at its best! The colours reminds me of spring, which hopefully will arrive soon.
